tarm Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Are Lucanus Capreolus larva cannibalistic? I've read some things that say they are. What are other species that are cannibalistic as larva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I've kept 6 small L1 Lucanus mazama together in a 16oz container and only 2 survived. Highly likely they are cannibalistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle01 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I keep Lucanus elaphus together sometimes, but not more than two in a quart container. They've almost all been fine. You can hear them stridulating, probably when the other gets too close. Not sure if capreolus do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyes Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Lucanus are very cannibalistic. I would not recommend keeping over 1L larva’s together. I just keep every individual in a small containers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
