These are the first L Elaphus I haved tried to rear. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks much, Gene Shatrowsky I do have a pic of it but not sure how to post it.

Dynastes Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 This is a reasonable time of year for them to make pupal cells. It doesn't take long to change to adult but the beetles won't lay eggs till next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
