Acro Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I just read that Phalacrognathus muelleri has an adult life span of 2 years! Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexW Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 According to many sources, this beetle can live from ten to eighteen months. Still, that's quite a long time for a stag beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexW Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think you confused adult lifespan with total lifespan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 no, dorcus species(adults) can live up to 2-3 years if taken good care. My dorcus hopei lived 20 months now and still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
