Lucanus maculifemoratus dybowskyi

Distribution:

Russia

Breeding hints:

I do not think that this subspecies has been bred by hobbyists yet. However, the breeding should be similar to that of Lucanus maculifemoratus

• Cool temperatures and high humidity for egg laying
• Getting the females to lay eggs can be difficult at times
• Eggs are laid into the soil next to wood pieces
• Larvae can be raised on white rotten wood or fermented mats. Rearing quite simple.
• Slightly drier climate for pupation
