Finally, my new book on beetle breeding is printed and ready to be shared.
After working on two editions of a German book on beetle breeding (Exotische Käfer – Pflege und Zucht by Benjamin Harink), I felt it was high time to write a more complete version with more images and above all in English. Also encouraged by Daniel Ambuehl, I started in the beginning of 2021, and now, a bit more than one year later my new book is ready for sale.
It´s called “Breeding Beetles – The Substantial Guide by Benjamin Harink”
I did not only write it, but also layouted it and took the majority of pictures. Many good friends helped me, contributing images, articles, the beautiful cover (can you find all the species we have hidden there?) and proofreading. I am immensely thankful to them.
The book is a hardcover, has 400 pages, over 750 images, and is in English. It is for beginners and experts alike. It covers almost everything there is to be known about beetles as pets, gives detailed instructions about breeding substrates, maintenance, breeding and many more topics. It also provides many species profiles on both commonly kept and rare species, and provides in-depth advice on the peculiarities of each. With large-scale images from habitats to breeding setups to species portraits, this book is highly valuable for any invertebrate enthusiast.
I decided to distribute the book myself, mainly because I wanted to be in touch with breeders who are interested in it.
The book costs 75 Euros, plus shipping, which is 9 Euros to most countries in the world. I can accept Paypal, and also bank transfer.
To order the book, please get in touch with me via email, and I will send the payment information and shipping information: Contact me!
Below are some images of the book, to give you an impression:
