Dynastes Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 This is the biggest darkling species from North America I've seen. I first saw two wild-caught specimens at a zoo, circa 2000. It took me some years to source them (Hatari) and then some years to get them to produce more than a few a year. Eventually I had extra pairs and sent quite a few to other hobbyists starting 2009. I am curious if anyone has active cultures still going and how they are doing? Pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have Eleodes spinipes macrura, would love to get your E.s.ventricosa here sometime this year though. The E.s.macrura have actually been a breeze to breed and pupate so far, minimal deaths/deformities when emerging from the pupal stage, and those have largely been due to human error anyways.

Peter has some listed on his website, but they're currently out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
