Trickster4095 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'm an up and coming beetle breeder in detroit, and I have a hard time finding beetles of any kind in my city. I was just wondering if there are any other hobbyists in my state that could help me in finding the best locations to look for stags and rhinos, as well as possible doing business with.

Nolens beetles Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi! I am also a relatively new breeder from the Lansing area. I am very excited to find some cool beetles this year, last year I found Lucanus Capreolus and Dorcus Parallelus. All the beetles I currently am raising I purchased. I have 2 Lucanus Elaphus, 4 Dynastes Granti, 3, Megasoma Sleeperi, 3 Gymnetis Thula, and 1 Goliathus Goliatus. I know that if you look in rotting logs you will find larva. I also plan on doing some light trapping this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rn I have around 10 adult tityus, some elaphus and capreolus, phileurus valgus and truncatus, Dorcus brevis etc. larvae of aloeus, antaeus, sleeperi, elaphus etc etc. I also have a lot of fiery searchers along with glowing click beetles (2 sp) and then 3 sp of Alaus. Nice to meet fellow hobbyists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got extras and don’t have enough tanks. Probably one of the most interesting US bycid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do light traps a lot if you’re interested. Lots of neat beetles in Michigan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
