Oryctes nasicornis help

[ando]

Some sort of fungus is killing the pupaes. Could anybody suggest something that would help. The pupaes are in the pupal cell so i don't know if i can help them directly.

Sorry but most likely if the pupae are infected with fungus it's a result of improper nutrition during the larva stage (they die and then are taken over by mold) and all you can do is hope some make it.

The thing is that i have only one survivor left from the original 16 larvaes. It's male and i really need him to my collection.

I found 2 beetle pupae, and they all dried up. I think they were just ground beetles though.

yeah maybe but they should need soil and moisture 3 inches deep make an oval with your hands and plase the pupa there
