Mashku Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mecynorrhina (Chelorrhina) kraatzi new Taxonomic since 1991 Hello Orin, the M. kraatzi are a weak species. The Imago live not long. The Substrate with more Wood Soil flakes, and the Larva need Protein (L1 Pachnoda or Chlorocala Larva). Larva are Kanibalistic. The Puppa Phase is very delicately not to much Humidity, most of them died. So in the Puppa stadium not more water in the Substrate ! Its a difficult Species to breed, them.

Dynastes Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Nice photographs! I'm sorry to hear it has proven very difficult, unlike Chelorrhina polyphemus. It's a very nice looking species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynastes Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sady I imagine I'll never get a chance to try that species here in the states. ..."new" Taxonomy List of the Goliathii or i post it here ? I'd like to see what you have posted. I'm familiar with the change but I think it should be changed back and may be on the next revision.
