Your larva is hairy like a Xylotrupes. I'd dig that pupa out of the dirt, they are not normally sorrounded by dirt (your substrate was too loose for a pupal cell) and the submersion can lead to death.

Yes, thats what species I said it was. Xylotrupes are prone to pupating on the surface. No matter what size tub they are in.

Sorry to hear that, Crazee Horse. Yeah, I don't get it. Usually, if the humidity is too low, they have a problem coming out of their pupal shell. However, it seems like you were aware of the humidity factor. I dunno. Sometimes, these things just happen no matter how hard we try to keep it from happening.
