About The Ultimate Guide To Breeding Beetles: Coleoptera
Product Description The Ultimate Resource for the Beetle Enthusiast: Beetles fascinate hobbyists with their vivid colors and patterns, strange forms, and unusual behaviors. Some species are well-known to beetle breeders, but there are many others that have yet to be kept or bred by more than a handful of dedicated enthusiasts. Orin McMonigle provides detailed husbandry and breeding guides for a wide range of species, from the popular rhinoceros and stag beetles to darkling, diving, and dung beetles. This book is the result of years of experience and experimentation, with unprecedented details in caging, feeding, and environmental requirements for all stages of the beetles' lives. The breeding guides offer the best chance to form healthy ongoing colonies of these incredible creatures. This is the ultimate beetle book for hobbyists, breeders, nature museums, and insect zoos. Welcome to the world of beetles! From the Author This book compiles a number of texts on beetle husbandry including all the complete guides to breeding beetles which includes the two chapters that were in For the Love of Rhinoceros and Stag Beetles by Lai & McMonigle 2001. These chapters were already greatly expanded and updated for the 2006 flower beetle and jewel scarab book so they may bear little resemblance to the originals. The complete guides also include rhinoceros, stag, darkling, and dung beetles. There's also a new section on longhorns, longarm scarabs, dermestid beetles, tiger beetles, passalids, and many others. Originally, I thought it would be easy to combine and update all the texts but it took longer than any of the books.
