I've been checking up with Strategus antaeus weekly to collect eggs and larvae. Eggs in 2oz container to incubate, larvae in 16oz to feed them. Every eggs I collected are first stored in 2oz container then about two-three weeks later I transfer them into 16oz (when larva is observed). So far, I...

Seems like this is the year for Lucanids! Found handful numbers of Lucanus placidus, L. capreolus, and few females of L. elaphus. Sounds great for me and my colleague. We are currently working on a manuscript to describe the Lucanids found in the state Louisiana. Will update later in the...

I was successfully able to get eggs from Strategus antaeus last year, but only one survived power outage from Hurricane Laura.. I'm hoping for a successful "rearing" this time...

I've been rearing beetles for about 20 years now, and for the first time in my life with insects, I started to keep non-insect started last year... was two tortoises. And actually, it is only 2 days away from a full year since I kept these two. They arrived in my hands when they were only 40...

If you are referring the green as GREEN, then NO. However, there are some phenotypic variation in overall color being yellowish grey to bluish grey. Some of Japanese bred specimens are tend to be white overall with no or barely any spots. You can tell male is vividly yellowish while female is...

Here is a batch of eggs laid by Dyscinetus morator. I've probably collected thousands of these a decade, and this year is my first time ever attempted to rear them. It was interesting to see how they lay quite a lot of eggs in one spot, instead of here and there sparsely one by one. This is one...
