Lucanus elaphus

[Ratmosphere]

Just got this Lucanus elaphus male today after a year of trying to find one. Probably one of the hardest beetle to breed in the hobby. This time I hope to have success, that is; if I find a female. Traded secrets with beetle breeding veterans so my hopes are high. Enjoy!
