Think they're rather long lived for a Dynastid, I forget exactly how long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugoodle Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Edit: Whoops! Sorry Hisser Dude! For some reason I got you confused with Lucanus. Up ttoo late, time to take my sleeping pill.

Lucanus Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Ended up selling all except 1 pair. That pair produced 7 larvae so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a colony going from the ones I got from a certain lucanus in 2017 but breeding and feeding so nuanced I often end up mating them across generations (because they eat each other and males get pinged the most). I swear though before I could add a new generation male I got six eggs a month early and 3 look good. The male in that group was eaten back in March. I don't remember the stock I kept for seven generation in the 90's being quite so trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynastes Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 If I didn't know any better I'd swear the three developing eggs could only be female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
