Acro Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 What stag larvae will produce major males when raised in decayed logs? In other words, with out the use of flake soil, kinshi, fermented sawdust, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayden1611 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 pretty much every species i think does better in a piece of wood rather than flakes or kinshi, but this is just from my personal experience i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Can you suggest a few species (from your experience or other source) that do epically well 'in-log'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagtacus Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The species that you can find in a log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 stagtacus, If you're going to take the time to type, try using your energy in more beneficial ways. Maybe suggest a species or two that you've had luck with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanas Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm pretty sure all stag beetles are found in logs, not to be repetitive, but its true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanas Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 probably would've been easier just to google this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratmosphere Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 As Satanas said, almost all stag beetles are found in logs. I have seen videos of people breaking into rotting logs and seeing a medium sized beetle come out. I think it all depends on the genetics, how much the larvae eats, and available nutrients in the rotting log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I got confused with what females need to trigger egg laying, thought it was what the larvae needed to live in. I made it more complicated than it needed to be. It's really quite easy. lol Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
