Coleopteraholic Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 so ive begun my baiting for the year. Doing pretty well so far (8 Plinthocoelium suaveolens & 2 awaiting id of genus Elaphidion) just curious what other baiters are using and how succesful. Im using 750 ml molasses/water/ shiner bock and 750 ml mol/water/ red wine. Hoping for Purpurecinus linsleyi and S gigas soon but so far the Plinth turnout has been nice. Also are there any tricks anyone knows to attracting cerambycids to blacklights? I have had very little success getting them to come to my setup, which is twin 400 48" blklt bulbs standing vertical on a 4 x 4 white sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleodes hispilabris Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I've heard that ginger attracts Stag Beetles, and I've tried, and it seemed to work pretty well, as I got a male Lucanus capreolus one time, an admirable size.

Bugboy3092 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 For attracting cerambycids a powerful murcery vapor light is probably better than a blacklight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
