ElvenAnnie Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 My beetle went from larvae to pupa in mid-march(he made his pupal cell partially against the bottom of the container so I have been monitoring him) but I don't know how long he should be in there before I'm supposed to worry and I can't find a consistent answer for how long it takes for them to pupate. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKim Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 It seems it depends highly in each individual from couple weeks to more than a month. Each species, each individual seems to have varying time spent in pupal cell as prepupal stage... If I remember it correctly, I think My D. tityus specimens have spent somewhere about 3 to 6 weeks after completely constructing a pupal cell until they pupated.
