It is highly effective for spawning Golden Stag Beetles, Lucanus titanus, and Lucanus maculacritus.

Because it is sterilized, unlike regular spawning logs, the wood will not mold, making it easy for beginners to use.

No pre-soaking is required.

After many years of repeated experiments, we have commercialized sterilized Kawara wood that is highly effective for spawning Lucanus titanus, Lucanus maculacritus, and Golden Stag Beetles, which were traditionally very difficult to breed.

It is now an indispensable item for spawning Lucanus titanus, Lucanus maculacritus, and Golden Stag Beetles.

It is compatible with various types of stag beetles and spawning methods.

The manufacturing process involves high-pressure sterilization, so there are no residual pests.

While some species may not lay eggs in regular spawning logs, they will lay eggs in sterilized Kawara wood, and you can obtain an unbelievable number of larvae. It has become the ultimate item for stag beetle spawning.

The number of eggs laid by Giant Stag Beetles and Flat-Faced Stag Beetles also increases dramatically compared to regular spawning logs.

To set up, simply peel off the bark and bury it in the substrate.

We also sell high-quality fermented substrate for burying the logs, which can be shipped together if desired.

[Kawara Wood Storage Method]
Kawara wood is essentially a form of mushroom substrate.

Therefore, please consider the storage method and shelf life to be the same as for mushroom substrate. If stored at room temperature (especially high temperatures), it will gradually decay and soften, deteriorating over time. For long-term storage, it is best to keep it in a cool, dark place at 3°C to 5°C.
