mutrok4040 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have four larvae of this species now, two huge ones, and two slightly smaller ones. If you look at my other thread with the pic, you can get a good size comparison. Anyways, I collected the first larvae a month ago. He has been building very sturdy structures, I assume they are pupal cells, not some random hole. Just got the other ones today, not sure what they are doing, their container is huge, more than a foot wide, maybe 10 inches tall, so I cant see them very well. When should I expect them to pupate, and how long will their pupation stage last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 the pupa to emerge takes around a month. If you see them spazzing out, it's the sign of pupating. And i assume one of your larva is L3. It's usually around August or September, so expect pupating soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
