pannaking22 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Huh, so that's what those larvae turn into. I always see them and know they're tenebrionids of some sort, but I never managed to figure it out. Thanks for sharing and glad you had some good collecting!

Hisserdude Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Nice, glad you collected more of the M.contracta, hope they do well for you! Huh, so that's what those larvae turn into. I always see them and know they're tenebrionids of some sort, but I never managed to figure it out. Thanks for sharing and glad you had some good collecting! You should collect some and try breeding them, they are definitely one of the coolest Tenebrionids in the eastern US! They just don't have the highest pupal survival rate according to The Ultimate Guide to Breeding Beetles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
