Dynastes tityus pupae duration

[Jimmy]

Hi there, I have two dynastes tityus beetle pupa and I was wondering how long the average time is until they eclose and how you can tell when they are about to eclose.

I had 2 males.  That went from pupas to adults about 5 weeks.  The color and shape changes.

The legs turn black days before they molt. If the body turns black they died.

Thanks, his legs are black so he should eclose in a couple days.
