Born in captivity

Carabus (Coptolabrus) fruhstorferi

Origin : Japan

Cut : ~5-6cm

Temperature : 10-28°C 

Reproduction: Easy

Food adult stage : Snail, earthworm, slug, carrion, sweet fruit, gingerbread and honey.

Nymph stage food : Snail and earthworms, slug, carrion etc...

Maintenance :A magnificent beetle! The diet is mainly composed of earthworms and snails. They need to be fed every 1-2 days. The snails can be presented thawed and crushed in a bowl, for earthworms, you can distribute them cut into small pieces in a bowl. Leftover food must be cleaned up quickly to maintain good hygiene. Nymphs need to be individualized, development time is about 45-60 days. Once adults, they live up to 3 years. Reproduction takes place in the spring, when the nymphs hatch, it is best to install them individually. Adults can project, in rare cases, an almost harmless acid (you will still need to protect your eyes, and rinse your skin in case of contact). A typical terrarium in the woods will be perfect, which you will keep slightly moist (bark, moss, dead leaves). They can live in groups once adults. They are magnificent little-known arthropods, unfortunately not very present in our farms, yet fascinating to observe and very active. Rare Asian species in captivity! Reproduction of 2022, young adult!
