Does anyone raise Carabidae: Cicindelinae?

In my youth I breed CARABUS. Only "single" breed is possible. They kill and eat the weaker ones.

CICINDELINAE are TIGER-beetles.

TIGER live alone and kill the rivals.

The TIGER-beetles/larvae do the same.

Stay at the moth/butterfly-breeding.

Hi Ethan,

I know that Cicindela chinensis was kept and bred in captivity. Larvae were offered for sale....but I did not see any offers for some time. I will check for more information. Some years ago I was not successful in raising the larvae to adults but would like to try the species again.

Cheers

Kai

Dear Ethan,

I am no Car. specialist. But you seem to be a bit in trouble, and may be I can help you with some literature on Car breeding etc. I once bought some paper

entitled:

"Laboratory methods for rearing soil beetles (Coleoptera)" by Burakowski, B. (1993). Polska Akademia Nauk, Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii , Warszawa 1993", Published in Memorabilia Zoologica Vol. 46.

written in English. It's very helpful in concern to your needs, Hopefully you have some access to your extensive liberaries on entomological matters.

Much success

Michael Weiss
