 | of Cybister lewisianus |
| They seem to have made Cybister japonicus small or kind as it was. Orange like tequila Sunrise of their metathorax and deep green of their dorsae are particularly beautiful and there are many breeders who like this species most. It heard that to collect them is very very difficult. |
| I also like them; Maruko. I want to look wild them sometime. |
| It goes without saying that any water beetles need a foothold. Let's get ready for aquatic plants, driftwood, standing tree and various stuffs. They have the habit of hiding when surprised. They will be tired from swimming, if there is no place in which they hide. |
| It may be better that they also need to cool by outdoor breeding in winter, if outside does not make much ice. To a wholesome breeding of the next year. |
| This is a Cybister lewisianus wrapped in air bubbles on the morning. And it swims away. |
| The habitat is getting lost little by little for certain. Increasing people. Decreasing everything except ones. To things which are few, we are too avaricious and gentle. |
| Well, do you know which is which? Although the size and appearance are alike, the left is tripunctatus and the right is lewisianus. If you want to know more each difference, please check the gallery of Cybister tripunctatus out too. |
| They water beetles keep still and eat almost nothing in winter season. They are only waiting calmly for spring to come. |
| After spring had come and water temperature got to reach 25 degrees, they got to mate frequently. Heave-ho! |
