Chalcosoma chiron chiron

Distribution:

Java

Breeding hints:

I have published a detailed breeding report for Chalcosoma chiron kirbyi on this site. The only really exciting finding was that in order to reach telodont specimen with long horns, a good trick is to rear the larvae on kinshi. I have a new generation coming along now, and will rear those larvae on kinshi. If no kinshi at hand, hard white-rotten wood will also work.
