Dynastes Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Those look like Pseudolucanus placidus. Great find! I've never seen that species alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbugs Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks Orin! So they are Lucanus placidus, not L. elaphus!? Great! Those look like Pseudolucanus placidus. Great find! I've never seen that species alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 In my experience placidus are much more difficult to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Congrat. L. placidus are quite common in some places but they are rare. Also, I heard that they are really difficult species to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
