Travelling Japan |
 | | After ten minutes in Kamakura, I found my first beetles in the Engakuen- shrine: It was a female of Prosopocoilus inclinatus and some Rhomborrhina japonica, Protaetia orientalis. |
 | | Because of the very strong smell of these trees and, also because of their habit (weird shape of the trunk, real big bulbs and tree holes), these trees are easy to find, also they do not seem to be common. |
 | | We caught about 15 adults of Dorcus rectus (Ko kuwagata), many imagos of Rhomborrhina japonica and maybe three Rhomborrhina unicolor, and last but not least 2 males of Lucanus maculifemuratus (Miyama kuwagata), one of which was about 70 mm big (!!). |
