I have a large log pile in the garden to try and attract them but I live in the midlands which is too far north. But you never know with global warming.
So you southerners, please make a log pile in your garden/plot, the larva takes 7 years before it emerges as an adult, so be patient. | We have them around here.My daughter found one under a mobile classroom at school.
