This page is where I'm keeping general research notes on various beetle breeding projects I'm working on. There is not much here yet, but I hope there will be more as the time goes on.
(as a side note, the actual thumb image links are being stored here : Images. - When you click on an image to see the full detail version, that's being stored on my personal web server, since I'm not sure what the total allowed storage is here, and I don't want to get any mad at me for using hundreds of megs of space for pictures of beetles)
1st Generations
The first generation is comprised of only those beetles that are found in the wild, and have never been breed before.
Strain 1: plains(M) x speckled(F)

Strain 1b1: - I left mom and dad together for a little too long. After 2 RL hours, there were 4 new beetles, so I can't be for sure which ones were direct G3's and which ones were in-breeds.
