We have a couple of these live insects and would like to study their life cycle and collect the eggs for a small rearing purpose. We have tried it before on pinewood twigs, with very little success.
Dear Dr. Carola Meierrose,
You obviously can find useful information about the mass rearing of Monochamus galloprovincialis in the three articles that can be found through these links:

Good luck in your research studies.
Best regards
Thanks a lot, Ramsi Mansour.
Your answer is very useful to the students and a designer who has a couple of these insects for drawing. As you might know, or not, I'm retired and have received that request from a colleague.
Kind regards,
Carola Meierrose
