Cariblatta lutea Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 What type of mix of substrate did you use? I used grounded up oak (Quercus alba I believe) from the area where I collected this species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Excellent work! One would think that predacious, relatively long-lived, and attractive scarabs would be popular in the hobby, but you're the first I've seen who's raised them!

Allpet Roaches Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had a big culture for seven generations, traded out quite a few pairs on ab & pb, but when I lost the stock I could never find stock again. I don't believe anyone bred any of the pairs. It is a sort of common species in the south but finding someone to collect them is not so easy (they seldom come to lights like Dynastes). It would be nice to see this species around again. I hope Cariblatta lutea ends up with a ton of extra pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several members on beetleforum who had raised/is raising this species so hopefully they'll become more popular in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on saving only two pairs for each generation, and trade off all the extras so hopefully I'll be able to get enough specimens available in the hobby for people to breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have a female at the moment I am keeping in the refrigerator. I am trying to ferment oak wood for her to lay eggs in. I find the Phileurus truncatus at lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
