JunkaiWangisme Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Beautiful little lucanid. Hopefully I manage to breed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliathus Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Sinodendron rugosum certainly is very unusual among Lucanidae - it looks more like a miniature rhinoceros beetle, than a stag beetle. Hoping that you will be successful in breeding them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKim Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Good luck! I heard it is doable when rotten logs are available. Syndesinae is surely interesting group entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyBeetle Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 They're so tiny and cute! I've never seen these before. Good luck breeding them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goi Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Awesome beetle! We’re you ever successful in breeding them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garin Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Really interesting beetles. A friend caught some in the San Gabriel mountains near a creek bed with lots of decaying wood. So I went up with my sister a few days later and we were able to get a few. I didn't try breeding them but heard they need rotten logs.

I would love to try them again one day with different setups, maybe I shall pester you some day ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
