Dynastes Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Alex, Welcome! It is possible to rear that species though getting eggs isn't always easy. Isn't it capreolus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre0broter Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Alex, Â Do you have stock of this beetle already? Â Welcome! no, I have a preserved male I found dead a while ago, funny how old ones' legs fall off, I know larvae live in rotting wood, which is abundant in the woods behind my house, how far into, oh say, a rotting log, do I need to cut to find larvae, in the core of it, or just peeling bark? I have an ax, pitchfork, shovel, and my grandfather has a pickax I could use to open logs and find larvae. how do I tell male acrosternum hilare from females? I have a nymph at the moment, my adult died from a maggot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
