I Fox Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Does anyone know the life span of Phileurus valgus? I have had an adult since May and I am wondering how much longer I can expect it to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Beetles Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Since they are a type of rhinoceros beetle, the closest I found was Phileurus illatus, so I would say at most two years maybe (?????????). Of couse that depends on how old it was when you found it, because then again, i had a Xyloryctes jamaicensis that lived for only two months, but I don't know how old it was when I found it.

aspenentomology Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, I agree with Stag Beetles. Phileurus truncatus can apparently live two years so I'd assume about that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
