• If you could induce a fecund stag beetle to lay her grubs into it, they would gradualky eat through it.

    This sounds extremely promising. How does one attract a fecund female stag beetle I wonder? Do I have to secrete the correct pheromones?

  • I've found the best method is live adjacent to a municipal golf course,
    and its surrounding aged hedgerows and woodland.
    When one flies into you, yes really, they can & do fly,
    take her home,
    and introduce her to the luxury habitat you have prepared,
    sizeable logs dug into the bottom of raised beds with a 'tower' of hardwood mulch leading down from the surface. If Firefox and the 'net play well I will upload a picture of the fine specimen that emerged earlier this Summer.
    (F it, tried 3 times nothing uploaded).
