Bugboy3092 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Gorgeous! Will any of these guys be for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliathus Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I assume that the container with the cocoon must be ventilated somehow? I can't tell from the photo, but undoubtedly, there are some ventilation holes? Is the cocoon normally kept on the substrate surface like that, throughout the pupation process?

Beetle-Experience Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Bugboy3092: Yes, they will be. I've only had one male so far Goliathus: Yes: I have a few, small ventilation holes in each container, some on the lid and some on the sides. The cocoon is normally buried, but some of the times they dig it up with them when they are emerging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Menagerie Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 On 8/16/2020 at 1:30 AM, Fire Moth said: Did you get yours from @Peter Clausen? I managed to get four from him. I think I have at least one male and two females. There is one that I keep forgetting to check for the Harold’s Organ. I am weighing them weekly and keeping record of exact pellet counts every day.

Fire Moth Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes I got 3 from Peter Clausen. They are now 7.1g, 11.6g and one that went from 4.0g to 2.7g in a month. If your's are siblings of my grubs. They are growing way faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Moth Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I have 4 more from a different strand. They are growing much faster. One from 8.3g to 32.3g in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Moth Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I wonder whats the normal gender ratios are. Looks like I have 4 L3 males, 2 L3 female and 1 dieing L2 unsexed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
