Regiarbol Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hello. I am a begginer beetle breeder from the U.S.A. I am currently breeding Dynastes Granti, but I also want to breed Allomyrina Dichotoma and Eupatorus Gracilicornis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Welcome! You may have an easier time getting other native species like Dynastes tityus (prettier than D. granti, different/shorter horn structure, and much, much longer lived as an adult) or some of our small Megasoma species like M. punctulatus.

Peter Clausen Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Welcome Regiarbol! I'd agree with Orin that D. tityus is a better captive species, though I personally prefer the characters of D. granti. Both are beautiful and very similar, of course. Like Orin, I also prefer culturing our wonderful, native species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
