Rhyssonotus nebulosus

Distribution:

Australia

Breeding hints:

Rhyssonotus nebulosus seems to be the only species of that genus which can be bred in captivity. It is not entirely clear what makes the other species impossible to breed, but it is guessed that the larvae can only survive on Eucalypthus as food. Good news that Rhyssonotus is a rather easy to breed species. Eggs are laid into soft white rotten wood, which the larvae will also eat. There are no great difficulties raising the larvae into adulthood.
