Eucorydia aenea

Cool, so glad these are in the US hobby, I love Polyphagids!

Awesome species! What's the care like on them?

 

[Hisserdude]

Seems like their care is similar to that of Therea or Ergaula.

Any updates on these beauties?

Do you still have these in culture?

@Forcep hasn't posted on the forum in a few years, but when I checked in with him about the species in 2018, he had sent his colony away to a couple friends. Not sure what the status of this species in the hobby currently is though. Maybe @Hisserdude would know.

Oh. It's always kind of sad to see people leave such a great hobby.

Indeed, but sometimes it's just inevitable with different developments in life.  At least Chen (@Forcep) does seem to be getting back into the hobby, if not quite as actively. I actually sent him a few species last November.

As far as I know, Eucorydia dasytoides (which is what these actually are, used to be E.a.dasytoides but they were elevated to their own species) is no longer in culture anywhere in the US, though several Asian and European breeders culture them.
