Dorcus schenklingi

Distribution:

Taiwan

Breeding hints:

Dorcus schenklingi is an endemic species of Taiwan. It is a protected species and I am not sure if it still is bred by hobbyists. The breeding of Dorcus schenklingi is similar to the breeding of Dorcus curvidens

Eggs are laid into hard white rotten wood. Larvae can be reared either in:

• Wood logs: The logs that the females laid the eggs in
• Breeding mat: Fermented mat with or without protein additives
• Kinshi bottles: Only for those priviledged enough to live in Japan or Taiwan
