What Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Not really happy with that photo at all, more will be posted later... The rearing of the larvae of these appears to be as simple as snails(as in feeding them snails) but I have no info on sexing, breeding, or anything else, just that the larvae were being reared as early as the year 1900 in literature. Very cool species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Clausen Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Great species! Any idea why they were being reared way back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 A bit better photo, imo: Great species! Any idea why they were being reared way back then? I am fairly sure it was simply to determine the identity of the larva. Here is the link, I suggest clicking the "page images" link if you are having trouble deciphering a word.
