 compare to this: http://agrozoo.ne...&l2=en. Larva images taken by me.
Doh I dont give any guarante, From my point of wiew, anything that looks like this and is size of this is May bug. It appears in 'large' quantities, any other scabidae is less frequent.

How to grow ? Splash it. Smile And any other that you find, that shoud do it.

It seems to be Lucanidae larva, maybeDorcus

 I don't think it's a Dorcus. European Lucanidae usually live in rotting wood, not in the soil. Were you able to raise it?

Best regards,

Scarabaeoid

 I'm still sure it's Lucanidae larvae. Look at the anal segment of larvae, its very unique in european Scarabaeoidea. See here http://www.entomo.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=12940 European Lucanidae of course live in rotting wood but most often in wood underground, and frequently builds pupal chamber in soil. Now I think Alexandru larvae is more probably Lucanus cervus (very common species in Suthern Europe).

Regards,
Lukasz

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
