junseong.jang Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I know that they live as larvae for like 1.5 to 2.0 years. How long do they live as imagos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewrune Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 As adults, with good living condition, DHH, DHL, DHO, DNN live 6~12 months. Not letting them mate too much will allow them live a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thank you so much. Do you know if DHH and DN(neptunus) can interbreed? It's safe to assume that they could, so I would advise against keeping any two Dynastes species together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewrune Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yes they can. It would look like DN with weird/ different horns. Keep in mind that hybrids often have a higher death rate before reaching adulthood. It could just be a waste of time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenevanica Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Another hybrid discussion? Honestly, if there is this much hybridization among insects it raises questions as to the validity of most insect "species." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
