I heard that they are very common in the Arizona state so you should try to collect some in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Minard Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 You should check out Polk County, Florida. My cousin lives there and finds a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 You should check out Polk County, Florida. My cousin lives there and finds a lot of them. Usually, the ones that are found in Florida are S. antaeus. Ihaven't seen much record of S. aloeus in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Minard Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Really? I'm shocked. My cousin recently had 3 females of them. He gets anteus as well and probably a bit more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be very lucky. I wish I lived in the place where he lives. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Minard Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Same here. Except for the fact that they don't get Stag beetles there. That would be like... Devastating. Speaking of which... I found some Platycerus today. Do you know anything on breeding these? 2 males and a female. I'm used to finding em in larger groups... Like 10+. it's been a while since I've found em though. I know you have Lucanidae experience so could you suggest a method? Is overwintering necessary like Bess Beetles and Cerechus, if I want them to mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to breed them you need the wood that you collected the adults from. Also, I believe they won't be active till next year since they are suppose to come out at spring and summer.
