LarvaHunter Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Even with weighing you won't know the exact end weight, many factors such as substrate,temperature,and genetics play a role. When you say big do you mean weight or volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 let me rephrase it, how big do you think a larva will be when it becomes an adult (without weighing the larva)? For ex, if a lucanus elaphus larva is 7+ grams, they are usually majors. So is there a way to know if they are going to be majors or minors without weighing the larva?

LarvaHunter Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't think so, but maybe someone more experienced will say different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
