Primož Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hello. Can someone identify the beetle species 0:39 seconds? I am mainly interested at the bigger Rose chafers in the middle they look like Cetonia aurata but seem bigger. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliathus Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Agestrata sp. (possibly A. orichalca). I've heard that this genus is difficult to rear in captivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliathus Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Not much appears to be known about the biology of Agestrata. It may possibly be that the larvae are specialist feeders - https://www.beetlebreeding.ch/agestrata-orichalcea/https://www.beetlebreeding.ch/agestrata-semperi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
