Very few books can be said that the "bible of the ?" However, confirmed the second edition of For the Love of Rhinoceros and Stag Beetles his title in the field of breeding beetles. In 2001, first edition of the book was published simultaneously in Chinese and English and written by Jonathan Ng. It was neither a volume of insect taxonomy, or a book on the popularization of insects. It is the art of breeding beetles, not a hobby at the moment have been known. AlthoughBeetle rearing was already very popular in Japan and the literature search beetles in this country was difficult to keep information about breeding to obtain Beetle was a rarity outside the country of the rising sun. The first edition was illustrated beautifully and covered the main genres (Lucanidae and Dynastidae Cetonidae), bred in the hobby.
He alone has taken the popularity of the Beetle and keep in Taiwan contributed to several other beetle breeders around the world. L 'second edition of For the Love of Rhinoceros and Stag Beetle is co-author Jonathan and Ko Lai Shin-ping, a professional breeder beetles. It is published in a series in two volumes and contains instructions in English and Chinese. It begins where it left off, with everything a farmer needs to know to successfully raise beetles. It covers many of the same material as the first edition. However, the author has acquired more experience than the first edition and in cooperation with otherprofessional breeders, there's also the more knowledge now breeding beetles, the most breathtaking elapsed time and corrected images, even the facts of the last edition.
Volume I explains the different levels of degradation in the wood that is needed to make effective substrate beetle is found. It also shows the secret of making the substrate wood-fermented flour (a topic discussed often, but rarely explained in the forum beetle breeding) to promote your larvae reach a maximum size. E 'covers most of the large rhinoceros (Dynastidae) beetles, such as: Megasoma, Chalcosoma Dynastes and species such as D. Grant, Tom D., D. Illo and D. Neptune. A very large chapter is devoted, D. Hercules and its various forms, all shown in photos in full size.
One chapter summarizes the (Cetonidae) flower beetles, while another is dedicated to the beetle Goliathus. For the novice who wants to venture with Goliath, this chapterInformation that is critical to the success of his breeding. But for the experienced breeder who has searched the Web for information about Meier breeding methods of breeding Goliathus will notice that the same, Karl article printed on the natural world by German breeders. Finally, the volume of Rutelini beetles (the famous American breeder, Orin McMonigle) and long arm beetles (Euchirinae), a species is missing completed in the previous publication.
Volume IIis mainly due to Hirsch (Lucanidae) focuses different beetle Dorcus, Prosopocoilus, Odontolabis Lucanus and gender. Identification keys are included to the different subspecies and species maximum size (if available) may be distinguished. Mating and egg laying, sex determination and larval mites: Other issues are. In my opinion, is the Holy Grail, a recipe for your own bottles Kinshi. Kinshi was the factor that has enabled Japanese farmersdominate the beetles breeding hobby. All sample size records were made in Japan. The magic is Kinshi mushroom spawn settle on a substrate made of wood. Stag beetle larvae consume tremendous speed as a substrate to grow and emerge into adults more. The step by step instructions presented is priceless!
The two volumes that result from each chapter that explains each of the techniques of agriculture to the special conditions for breeding, spawningRequirements and the care of the larvae of a particular species. Images of the beetle in different states (egg, larva, pupa and imago) described. As the owner of the first edition, I realized that much of the information in this new version would be repeated, but adding new photos and the latest breeding techniques have more than enough to make it a pleasant experience. However, a defect that was recovered in the first edition in the new: the small proportion ofthe flower beetles (Cetonidae) family. Beetle species of flowers and 30% of all species in a flock, but only two chapters (one general chapter Flower Bug, and a chapter Goliathus) were included. Comparatively, the family was hercules Dynastes described to all known subspecies.
In conclusion, the second edition of For the Love of Rhinoceros and Stag Beetle is not a must for all Coleopterists, reputable breeder or. Much of the information aboutBehavior of breeding beetles came from the agriculture of the beetle. The authors succeed in passing the knowledge from A to Z for newcomers and experienced farmers are obliged to find some surprises.
