Dynastes Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 There are a few covers for that book. The one with the Megasoma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignaz Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Megasoma actaeon is the winner. I'm so upset now I bought this beek for US beetles not to be teased. It's not even that attractive and I was unaware of the size I just liked the horn. Are there any native beetles with this style of horn structure?

axlopez Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Looks more like Megasoma Elephas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignaz Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 You might be correct. It does not change the fact that I can't get one. I would be interested in native beetles with this type of horn structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 We have Megasoma vogti in the US but chances of acquiring livestock are as near to zero as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignaz Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I know a few people in Brownsville TX. I'll have to see if they can do some hunting for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
