All About Arthropods Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Only hissers within the same genus can crossbreed. For example - G.oblongonota with G.grandidieri, E.laevigata with E.chopardi, etc. There is an exception with P.vanwaerebecki (which should be reclassified as a Gromphadorhina sp.) being able to crossbreed with Gromphadorhina spp., but that is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogpack Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I wouldn't want to cross breed because this is happening already and many people are unhappy. The pure specimens are disappearing. This is what I've found in my research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
