DynastesD Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hi! I am a big fan of D granti and A dychotoma. My family will be going up to Payson to look for the elusive D granti. Anyone has a suggestion on a special area, please let me know. I know Home Depot is where they like to hang out. I was lucky to have found many Xylotrupes Ulysses in Prescott and a handful of D granti three years ago. I haven't been do lucky in the past few years. I'll keep trying! Oh, Madera Canyon is on my list to visit next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Myers Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Probably meant to say "Xyloryctes thestalus." Those have been found in and around Prescott Arizona. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynastesD Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thank you for the welcome! Oops! Thank you for the correction, they were X. thestalus not X. ulysses. Got about 20 or so of them. I found 3 male and 1 female D. granti. The coolest one is the Chrysina gloriosa. It was a productive weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
