I'll tell you right now though, so far nothing has changed. They are doing well, but no eggs have been laid yet, so either I'm doing something wrong, or they were caught too late in the season, they may only lay eggs in spring. <br /><br />Glad to hear my blog was of help in identifying your Edrotes, I'm happy to see it's had a positive impact on you! :DInvertebrate Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805593561535078108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693930219127879451.post-44161978741808495042017-10-17T01:00:52.129-06:002017-10-17T01:00:52.129-06:00I would love to see an update on your edrotes vent...I would love to see an update on your edrotes ventricosus beetles. I have been seeing these beetles for most of my life and always enjoyed watching them. I have tried before to ID them and have had no success until today when I stumbled upon your blog. Thank you very much. <br />Flytrap Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442161645477214156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693930219127879451.post-91307389658630136472017-07-28T16:48:23.402-06:002017-07-28T16:48:23.402-06:00Thanks, I hope so too, they are really unique litt...Thanks, I hope so too, they are really unique little darklings! :)Invertebrate Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805593561535078108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693930219127879451.post-67096082160522090772017-07-28T13:25:23.156-06:002017-07-28T13:25:23.156-06:00Very nice!
