pickle01 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is there anyone that has kept both Lucanus elaphus and Lucanus (sometimes listed as Pseudolucanus) capreolus that could help me visualize the differences in their larvae? I know there is supposed to be something about a ratio involving the heads, but I haven't found a good explanation of how exactly to measure that. I live in an area with both species, but all the larvae I've collected within a couple miles of my house have ended up being elaphus. Before I send some larvae to other people though I would like to try and rule out capreolus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKim Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I believe there is no studies done for immatures of Lucanids in the North America yet... Morphological characters are not yet described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
