Very nice! Beautiful specimens! And congratulations! (for both the beetles and on them surviving the Magyar Posta!) :rolleyes:

I just got another Xyloptrupes gideon philippinensis today. I got 2 1 male and 1 female. When my maid picked up the female it made a noise so it was a gideon beetle. I handled the male. That was the first time I handled a bug. It hurt a little because of the tarsus. Also is it easy to breed x. gideon?

The reason they don't have breeding info is because Mushiking's for kids but adults and teens still play. lukatsi have you checked any of the Mushiking websites (check the malaysian, hong kong or japanese websites for the most updated cards if you still haven't checked it)?

Mi magyarok mindenhol ott vagyunk:D Láttad Fince képeit a Field Trips-ben?
Thanks, fortunetly EMS is precise and always arrives on time.

Mushiking, please post pics of your beetles in another thread, I'm curious! Xylotrupes species are considered easy, but I've never had any of them. Every description says it's a beginner species, if you managed to breed Chalcosoma I'm sure you'll have success with them.

GORGEOUS!

Are they really illegal here in the states? I thought you just had to have a permit??

Oh what fun it would be to raise and care for these giant beauties! :)

lukatsi, my gideon beetle male has a hole on his horn. Did you know they stridulate or hiss at you if you disturb it?
