***** WINTER BREAK, see you in 2025 ;) *****

Webshop reopens May 2025 if weather allows shipping larvae.
You can still purchase larvae from me in person at the Naturaria fair in Antwerp Expo on 10 November 2024.

Protaetia speciosa cyanochlora “green morph” L1/L2

 5,00

L2 larvae of green P.s.cyanochlora.
These are not hybrids, but a separate color strain I was able to isolate from the blue ones.
It started with just a few bright green individuals, which I isolated from the rest and started breeding separately in 2023. It worked as in 2024 a whole army of bright green beetles emerged, this is their offspring.

Please read full description for info and rearing recommendations

A 3 month diapause during winter for the larvae is necessary in the pursue of offspring. Larvae can be diapaused in a temperature range of 6 to 10 degrees celsius when the larvae have grown into large L3’s of about 7 grams. after diapause, larvae will build their cocoon in spring and emerge in early summer.

communal or individual rearing: communal with protein supplements as of L2/L3
