the timing of the each individuals can be differ by day to several weeks. I wouldn't know if it has emerged or not.. If you want to open it, try it carefully.

I don't know what you read, but all dynastine scarab beetles CAN go under dormancy. Also, all the dynastines have chewing mouthparts. They can chew quite well, especially a lot of species under the tribe Oryctini are.

You need to resize the file, and lower the file quality enough to upload here. I need to see the top and sides of the cage, not the product image. The link you gave me does not show me enough of where the possible gaps are.

They will naturally come up to the surface, but if you are willing to check (with risk), you can do it anytime. I would gather some materials like wet floral foam in case you find them in pupal stage. Do you see them through the wall side of the container? or do you assume they are in pupal...

S. aloeus feed on a lot of food, one jelly a day, and sometime even more, and chew through the jelly cups when they are hungry. Your temp is not too bad, but slightly low. I would raise it up to at least 75˚F, up to around 80˚F if you can, or just naturally wait until the weather gets warmed up...

Soil not necessary. A lot of care guides providing information of mixing substrate and garden soil are all very old, expired information. Have some more depth of substrate, probably about 8 inches deep, and your idea of compacting bottom is okay, but honestly, not necessary either. They will...

Go for David!

Can you show us the picture of the enclosure? Based on your questions, I assume you don't have any plants inside the cage, which means you probably won't need too much ventilation in the cage. Seal off most of gaps and holes will help you maintain the humidity, however, I doubt you need to keep...

@dorifora Both adults and larvae feed on plant leaves of poplar and willows. I collected 100+ in a single poplar plant that is about the height of adult male, and ~1m² wide in Yeosu, South Korea, a decade ago. A picture of the plant I collected both larvae and adults. Another picture of...

Haven't had much great chances to breed these guys as they just don't seem to feed or lay much of eggs. I guess there is something wrong with the set ups, but then one female lays some, while the other females just wouldn't.. Anyone have a clue for a special setups?

In search of Dynastes grantii adult pairs. Interested in multiple pairs. Please quote my post to reply, or send me a message. Thank you.

I'm looking for a CB female of Dynates grantii for a friend. He has a major male, and is looking for an active female that started to feed. Message me if you have one for sale. Thank you.

I'm searching for dried specimens of Dorcus brevis in a pair for a research colleague. Specimens do not have to be "wild collected" as it is not for a research requiring collection data. Reared specimens are okay so long it is in a decent condition.
