[QUOTE="Hisserdude, post: 198420, member: 4652"] Lastly, we have [I]Deilelater[/I] cf. [I]atlanticus[/I], one of our smallest US native Pyrophorini, but they still glow brightly nonetheless! These were collected from Ocala FL last year by @Lucanus95 (Alan Jeon), and he sent me 9 CB larvae, which I've been rearing up for months now. One of them just pupated, so I should be seeing an adult in person soon, hopefully I'll be able to breed these easily! Some pictures of a small larva: [IMG width="531px"]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cKfM2QRinKo/X3-5O8o-_YI/AAAAAAAAOos/o5O4dAkwSycnB50P8ZRY9M3vuRT2e42IACLcBGAsYHQ/s574/DeilelaterFL%25235.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wO9NXV8Y6Oc/X3-5OZPYBQI/AAAAAAAAOoo/0rgExh13W3ANMyfwj4mwmuzY2Xd-brUygCLcBGAsYHQ/s532/DeilelaterFL%25234.JPG[/IMG] [IMG width="531px"]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9XEeAGKRnck/X3-5OEeKvZI/AAAAAAAAOok/yDkZBW0LpjEcp3JEyzdEbWj6t4wtmXxqgCLcBGAsYHQ/s681/DeilelaterFL%25232.JPG[/IMG] And now here is a pupa, under normal lighting and then in the dark, so you can see it glowing.
