Goliath Scarab Beetle  - Dicranocephalus wallichi bowringi

Distribution: China, SE Asia

The first problem lies in the breeding of successful Eiablage. The females seemed to be extremely choosy about what the substrate tiče, however, it turned out that they are looking for fresh leaves (best plum (Prunus spp.) Or apple) were . Only when made these available (best defines it to the substrate)) eggs were stored. The way is very unusual: The females seek in the leaves einzugraben substrate, and thereafter, or into a small package zusammenzufalten in which it laid an egg. After two to four weeks slip then the larvae, which are no difficulties of the common substrate (In the former case, alder leaf litter compost) ate and grew remarkably quickly. The next problem in the attitude of Dicranocephalus wallichi, as in many other Asian Rosenkäfern also, in the successful Verpuppung. The larvae pupate only in clay soil, and even then only if this is below the substrate. It is better to Verpuppung the larvae to isolate, since they would otherwise interfere with, or the puppet of the other caves destroyed.

Any of approximately 30,000 species of beetles (insect order Coleoptera) that are compact and heavy-bodied insects with robustly oval outlines. They are distinguished from other beetles by their unusual antennae, each of which terminates in three flattened plates that fit together to form a club. The outer edges of their front legs are often toothed or scalloped to facilitate digging. These beetles vary in size from 5 mm (0.2 inch) for the smaller species to the African goliath beetle, which at 12 cm (4.8 inches) is one of the heaviest known insects.

Scarab beetles vary considerably in habits, with many species feeding on manure or on decomposing plant materials, others on growing roots or leaves, and a few on fungi. The family Scarabaeidae includes the subfamilies Cetoniinae (see flower chafer); Melolonthinae (see chafer; June beetle); Rutelinae (see shining leaf chafer); Scarabeinae (see dung beetle); and Dynastinae (see rhinoceros beetle).

The family includes several agricultural pests, including June beetles (or June bugs), rose beetles, and the Japanese beetle (q.v.). The dung beetle Scarabaeus sacer was sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Scarab beetles are one of the most popular families with insect collectors owing to the large size and beautifully coloured, hard, highly polished forewings of many species.  ***
