Re: Fumigant Lifetime
by Chuck » Mon Nov 27, 2023 1:58 pm
I'm "fortunate" enough that during winter I can rotate most of the collection through the sub-freezing garage. Purportedly, the drawers have to go through two freezes to catch adults then eggs, but in my experience one rotation through a freeze does the job.
It's my suggestion to find a way to freeze drawers, always keep humidity under 50%, and avoid fumigants. This, of course, is not always possible, but for those who do have the space (yes, you do John) a freezer (or second freezer) is the way to go.

New Charaxini Paper
by Cabintom » Mon Nov 27, 2023 5:54 am
The abstract:
The systematics of Charaxini is revised. The three historical genera are confirmed: Charaxes (Ochsenheimer, 1816);
Polyura (Billberg, 1820) and Euxanthe (Hübner, 1819). The genera Eriboea (Hübner, 1819) status rev.; Zingha
(Hemming, 1939) status rev.; Viridixes (Bouyer & Vingerhoedt, 2008) status rev. and Euxanthe subgenus
Hypomelaena (Aurivillius, 1898) status. rev. are reinstated. Three new genera are described: Laodice genus nov. with
the type species Papilio lycurgus (Fabricius, 1793); Setechin genus nov. with the type species Charaxes nichetes
(Grose-Smith, 1883) and Ydeali genus nov. with the type species Charaxes lydiae (Holland, 1917). A key to the nine
genera is provided.

Let's see now: I take the boxes of papered stuff out of the freezer, take the fumigant out of drawers, put it into the boxes, put the boxes on a shelf, and put the drawers in the freezer, and I'm good to go!Chris Grinter wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 9:23 pmHaha yes just need the discipline to use the freezer for nothing other than pest management.jhyatt wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 2:54 pmGot one, but it's too full of boxes of papered leps to hold any drawers!Chris Grinter wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 6:07 am A chest freezer can fit drawers vertically, years ago I had one in a lab that could easily fit 6 at once.

Looking for "Käfer Mitteleuropas - Larven"
by Lucavs » Sun Nov 26, 2023 7:38 am
I'm looking for a while for the pages dedicated to the description and iconography of the larvae of species belonging to the genus Stephanopachys, (Bostrichidae). Can you help me? In Italy I have a lot of difficulty finding this source, where I believe they are well described.
A thousand thanks
Luca

Re: "Reptile Heaven" and "WildinsectUSA" = SCAM

I see they have "improved" their scam listing now some very rare species at high price (but affordable for the rarity) : https://reptileheaven.com/product/agria ... ournierae/ The real value of this pair would be at least $1,000.
I guess they steal pictures on the web of sold rarities and list them as if they have it. A simple google search about the rarity can lead you to their website.
