BeetlebreederGermany Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good evening, I wanted to ask if someone here has experience in rearing or breeding Gnorimella maculosa. It seems like that species isn’t in breeding and I couldn’t find data regarding breeding online. Best Regards, BeetlebreederGermany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, BeetlebreederGermany I haven't kept Gnorimella maculosa, but have bred Trichiotinus texanus, and found this species to be very easy. I hope to try breeding Trigonopeltastes delta soon.

BeetlebreederGermany Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hello @Goliathus, would you mind sharing how you bred this species? I would love to know! Also I would like to hear how your Trigonopeltastes breeding goes on, if you can start it. Greetings, BeetlebreederGermany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, BeetlebreederGermany It was perhaps 15 years ago, but I recall that Trichiotinus texanus were very easy to breed. They oviposited readily in composted leaf litter. In fact, they even laid eggs in a bare container! Rearing was essentially the same as for many other Cetoniinae, and the larvae grew very quickly. There are several other species of Trichiotinus in my area, including a metallic green one (possibly lunulatus?) that I see much less frequently than texanus. Have you ever kept any species of Gnorimus, such as G. nobilis? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeetlebreederGermany Posted April 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hello, thank you for all that information! I am infact rearing Gnorimus sp larvae which I removed from cutdown trees last year. They have build pupacells two weeks ago.
