Prosopocoilus astacoides fraternus

Distribution:

China

Breeding hints:

Prosopocoilus astacoides fraternus are relatively easy to rear. They are laying their eggs into white rotten wood logs, and larvae develop in white rotten wood or flake soil. I only found it quite complicated that imagines took a very long time to become active, and as such I did not get many larvae for my F2, mainly because most females had died before the males became active. This is strange, because they hatched at the same time. Maybe they also need some hibernation period.
