Dorcus taurus gypeatus

Distribution:

Indonesia

Breeding hints:

I am not aware of detailed breeding reports for Dorcus taurus gypeatus. It is a fairly widespread species and fairly easy to breed. The breeding of Dorcus taurus 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
