:Hi, im trying to find beetles around where i live in Wi. I find a beetle now and then, but never again. I have found one ivory marked beetle, two blue metalic cerambycids, three red stag beetles, one goldsmith beetle, and a couple of tiger beetles. I seem to find these during one day, but never see them again.=( Anyone know how to get them to come back? (how do i ferment sugar?)
:Thanks

I do not know any tricks to get the beetles to your yard other then using lights at
night. Beetles are attracted to black lights and also mercury vapor lights. It is a lot
of fun to set up these lights and collect the beetles. Try it on a warm night. ericR
