Hisserdude Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Found several of these a few weeks ago, and they have been breeding for me! I have found several eggs at the bottom of their enclosure. They are being kept in a medium sized container filled with sand and a little bit of coconut fiberHere are some pictures! Quote
All About Arthropods Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Cool! They look really nice with the hairs and the round body shape! How large are they? Quote
Hisserdude Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks, I really love their rotund shape, so unique looking! They are about 10 mm long. Quote
Death Posted March 29, 2016 Report Posted March 29, 2016 Those are nice! i would certainly buy some!@2 Quote
Hisserdude Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 Those are nice! i would certainly buy some!@2 Well if I am successful in breeding them and rearing the larva to adulthood, I'm sure I'll have a bunch for sale. Quote
Hisserdude Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Posted April 15, 2016 After a long wait, my Eusattus eggs have finally started to hatch! Unfortunately the larva are to small for me to photograph, but once they grow a bit bigger I will take a bunch of pics! Quote
Hisserdude Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Posted April 24, 2016 Here are some images of the tiny larva! Quote
Hisserdude Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Posted September 26, 2016 Unfortunately my Eusattus have not been doing too well, this species has a very poor larval survival rate, and the amount of larva I have left is smaller than the amount of adults I started with. Still, the larva that are left are pretty healthy, and are getting big! Pupation is probably not too far off in the future. Here are some pictures of a large larva: Quote
Ratmosphere Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 Wish you the best of luck! Quote

arizonablue Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 Those are gorgeous beetles! I hope you have success with the larvae! Quote
Hisserdude Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Posted October 1, 2016 Those are gorgeous beetles! I hope you have success with the larvae! Yeah, they are really cool looking! Thanks, me too! I only hope that the amount of larva I have is enough to rear a few sexed pairs, otherwise my culture will probably fizzle out pretty fast. Quote
