Lucanus Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 A tree fell down near my workplace so I decided to investigate before the tree service could get to it and take it away. To my surprise I found 14 D. tityus larvae inside the cavity of the tree! The place I work at is in the middle of suburb so it's mind blowing that these could breed in the city where there's hardly any trees left. Quote
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 I also see some L3 in there also. Quote

Ratmosphere Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 Congrats dude what an awesome find. Quote
Dynastes Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 It's interesting they are able to locate the tree holes over miles. It's the same in many new growth areas where an old tree from a field lines can be thousands of feet away from the next and they still find it. Quote

It also blows my mind that they can survive in heavily developed areas as long as the tree they can breed in is available. Quote
