Ignaz Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Will these be for sale in the spring? Do you know the exact species of shelf fungus they are feeding on or are they not specific to one type. How often are you offering fresh fungus? And what is the time span of their life cycle? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This species can be found on Shelf fungus. The only requirement for this species is the Shelf fungus which is very hard find in the wild.

Thanks in advance. I haven't thought about selling this species because I was planning to send some for trade in spring, release some in the wild, and keep the rest. Also, I don't know how much these cost. I offered the first shelf fungus about 8 month ago and added second one about 4 month ago. As far as I remember, a single male lived about 6 month after it emerged. The life cycle took about 7~9 month from egg to pupa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucanus Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Haw difficult are they to keep,and where do you get them from thank you They are very easy to raise since they don't require any care. The difficult part is to find their food. This species only breed on Shelf fungus which are very hard to find. I found mine on Shelf fungus near the place where I collected D. tityus.
