Mantisfan101 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 This books saved my life and my beetles multiple times and now I am in the hunt to try and collect all of Orin’s books. 200/10 if you ask me, don’t get relictant because of the price tag, with the information provided it’s a buy that I will not be regretting anytime soon.

The Mantis Menagerie Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 This is my first Mcmonigle book, and I got it yesterday. It seems very thorough, but I noticed one thing I wanted to have clarified. In the book, it mentions fermenting wood, but it says that the wood must start as rotten wood. I was under the impression that fermentation was like artificially rotting the wood. I will admit that I haven't read it in its entirety as I have not had much time the past couple days. I did spend about an hour reviewing it, but I need to go back and read everything. If this topic is mentioned in a different part of the book, then please tell me. Otherwise, it covers just about every species I have been looking to breed, and I think it was worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattH Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Have ordered this book from the US on Amazon. It was cheaper than buying a second hand copy on Amazon UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingSwampert Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I got this book for Christmas. It's the best beetle breeding book I've ever read! It's perfectly tailored for the US hobbyist. It has new and updated info when compared to orins previous books, and his experience keeping beetles definitely shows. This book has general info on all types of beetles, both native and foreign species. 12/10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
