Ratmosphere Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 It’s fine man hahaha. They can move by themselves. You could always pick him up and put him back on his back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliathus Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Here's a time lapse video of the motions that a Dynastes pupa goes through prior to eclosion. Incidentally, those occasional "sparkles" on the pupa's surface are droplets of condensation caused by fluctuations in humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
