no it's still aurata at Grampians, you need to go the western VIC towards SA. Around the little desert areas. Too early now you will only find larvaes. It's winter here now.  varians is more closely related to micardi, so you need to go towards WA.  Good luck! |

LOL!!!!!! That's why it would take a life time to collect Lucanidae in Australia. It's very expensive to travel within OZ................ join the most annoying thing in OZ .......DISTANCE  I don't think there'll be much there now because there was a big fire that destroyed everything a few years ago. |
