Greatwun Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 My Phileurus truncatus pupae started to emerge as of last night! So far three have emerged and they are one male and two females. All of the larvae I collected in the last few months are in the pupa stage now and should become adult beetles within the next few weeks.

LarvaHunter Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 It's great to see the light electras. Thanks for all your cool pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Myers Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Awesome! Those horns are a LOT larger than the two P. truncatus I had a couple of years ago! Nice job, Greatwun! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatwun Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 They are nice large horns and I have a few larger ones still in the pupa stage. Can't wait to measure them after they emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Man...I'm really jealous of you right now. All of my females pupae seem to have nice looking horns, but my males don't have awesome horns like yours. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazr80 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The elytra (I think) look really cool, like polished wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanas Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 mine are still larvae... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatwun Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 mine are still larvae... Weather has been pretty warm here which is why they probably pupated early. Yours should pupate soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
