Peter Clausen Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Welcome Yves! It's great to have our first member from France. Thank you for joining. With a very long list like that, you must have lots of friends in the beetle hobby! I hope this community is eventually able to offer you a few new species. It's neat to see our US Dynastes represented in your live collection. So, what is your favorite beetle on your list? And what is your "dream" beetle?

yves0071 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 How much time does it take to give care to all of them routinely? Hi, 2 hours per day + a bit more on wednesday when my son helps me. What are the species you breed? Regards Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ando Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I collect beetles but I don't breed them. Saves a lot of time . My parents don't like the my brilliant idea of breeding beetles . But i would like to start breeding and suitable "starter" would be Dicronorhina micans. In the future i would like to breed goliathus goliathus, dynastes hercules hercules and propably megasoma elephas elephas when i have the chance. I've experimented with oryctes nasicornis but without success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ando Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 We have: 1 rhino beetle: Oryctes nasicornis 4 flower beetles: Oxythyrea funesta Cetonia aurata Liocola marmorata potosia cuprea ssp. metallica We have found about 3100 species of beetles but we think that number could be 4000 because we haven't found them all yet and we don't have many entomologists and coleopterists About: 100 longhorns (cerambycidae) 1000 rove beetles (staphylinidae) 290 ground beetles (carabidae) 80 scaraboidae 65 scolytidae 400 curculionidae 110 dytiscidae 260 chrysomelidae 50 coccinellidae 40 cantharidae 70 elateridae 40 buprestidae 40 hydrophilidae 50 histeridae and so on. 4 stag beetles: sinodendron cylindricum platycerus caraboides platycerus caprea ceruchus chrysomelinus We had 5 species but a certain Russian tsar (Peter the first) chopped downa lot of oak forests in 18th century and so Lucanus cervus dissapeared from our forests in 20th century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
