Captive Rearing Allows Researchers
  • The opportunity to view behaviors not commonly
    seen in the wild
  • To provide specimens for the collection of
    genetic material
  • An ability to gain a physiological profile for
    this species
  • To provide the numbers of beetles needed for
    reintroduction efforts
