GeneralZero Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I checked on my larvae a few days ago (about 3-4) days and today I decided to take a peek just in case and noticed a big chunk of substrate missing on the side with wet marks. Is this larvae pupating? If so, I suppose the best thing is to leave him/her alone, but I also have the other larvae in which I can see is at the bottom which is the other mate for the one possibly pupating...is there a risk of it harming the current chamber? If it is a chamber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 It's harder to tell from the image but it seems like it may be the start of a pupa cell from what I have seen from mine. I wouldn't mess with it. Keep an eye on it though and if you notice the other larvae starting to cause a problem then move the pupa to an artificial cell.

GeneralZero Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Okay thanks a lot Jordan I will watch it as much as possible the only reason I believe it is a pupal chamber is because it seems rather large inside which isn't view-able through the picture..and it has moisture around the edges. If the other larvae does cause any issues should I make the artificial one out of that green foam stuff? Or clay?? and would I have to place it in a new container? thank-you for the swift reply!

hardshell Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 well, it might be i think the larvae will spray liquid to make it clay hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Awesome well I will give it a good look today to see if I can see anything I tried last night but the hole is rather dark and I do not want to be moving it much. Hopefully it's the pupal chamber and not just some random hole due to eating.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tert100 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Looks like the start of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
