[QUOTE="Hisserdude, post: 82545, member: 4652"] Well good luck getting babies, Carabids are notorious for being extremely difficult to breed in captivity, as they often require seasonal changes and environmental changes to induce oviposition. Pasimachus seem to have a low egg count per season compared to other genera. Additionally, Carabid larva are prone to die off for no reason, and are very weak captives. So basically these are extremely extremely difficult to actually breed in captivity, and no one has ever reared a larva to adulthood before. Only two people I know of have gotten their females to oviposit, and both of them only got a single egg. Here is a picture of a larva next to a pre-killed cricket.
