Actually,you don't need to go into the jungle to catch them,they will fly to white colored lights at hotels near the jungle,ex:Cameron highlands equatorial hotel & Genting highlands 1st world hotel smile.gif
Use hand to catch la tongue.gif

Cannot bite or sting,at most only scratch with their claws
Use a white coloured torchlight or emergency lamp hang beside the cloth from around 7.30pm to 11pm

Normal jungle less rare ones lo,maybe oni got X. gideon,if lucky got C. atlas lo.Expect more moths than any other insects though
Rhinoceros beetle cannot pinch,stag beetles can,but those that hurt alot will be from the genus Dorcus smile.gif

Hello everyone! GOSH. I freaking love beetles, but sadly Singapore CANNOT BUY. No one sells it either. So can I ask, Ipoh got sell? Or any one in Ipoh selling? I often go Ipoh, and next 2 weeks Im going Ipoh. The "white cloth" method of catching beetles really work? My house in Ipoh behind there got hill then got forest. last time got one rhino beetle flew, I let it go. If the white cloth technique work eh, that would be cool. Haha. biggrin.gif
