10+ Month old Strategus aloeus?

Hi all,

One of my ox beetles has lived as an adult for over ten months. I know they usually only live as adults for around 3-4 months, so is this noteworthy at all?

I had 1 of 6 live that long last year, a few others made it 6-8 months. I'd say it's exceptional, but not unusual (especially if CB)

I've had one that lived 7 months.
