hymenoptera Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi guys, I dont keep any species from out of Australia because of our strict laws But I have a few aussie lucanids but they tend to be small. But there are some bigger species like Phalacrognathus muelleri which I keep as well as Prosopocoilus torresensis and Dorcus Wickhami which I am still trying to get my hands on. Has anyone been collecting in Australia before? I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has as I haven't had that much success.

Dynastes Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi Stuart, Nice to meet you. Any chance you've got some photos of your Australian stags or some scarabs? Other than the super-common P. muelleri we don't see many images of Australian scarab relatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hymenoptera Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 what up! welcome!! do you own any dynastes beetles Um not yet, Australia only has 3 large species like Xylotrupes ulysses and Haploscapnes. I am going to give X. ulysses a go this year but Haploscapnes I think is a bit rarer. Apart from that you cant import insects into the country . I would show some pics of my Lucanids but I dont have many of them becasue I haven't been collecting for very long and the ones I do have are tiny.

Dynastes Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Xylotrupes are one of the easiest to rear so those will make great pets. I'd like to see pictures of your tiny stags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
