Alex Shaffer Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does anyone here have knowledge on how heavy approximately megasoma sleeperi/punctulatus L3 larvae become before pupation? What's the max weight i should be expecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Shaffer Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Also how much weight do larvae typically shed just before pupation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerHobo Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I don't know the maximum size of this species, but I do know it's pretty variable. It'll be easy to tell when they're preparing to pupate just due to color and wrinkly appearance. From my understanding a 10% loss is pretty typical of most US scarabaeidae.
