Mantisfan101 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well when I got my tityus larvae I found s couple mjtes on them and O didn’t think much of it until I noticed that they all have blackspots on them, and quite a lot...they are late l3, is it possible that they can still successfully pupate?

Goliathus Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 There are various things that can cause black spots on beetle larvae, and not all of them are necessarily dangerous to their health. Often, the spots are just the result of exposure to an irritant, and the effect doesn't go any deeper than the skin's surface. If the spots are due to infection with a pathogen however, that can be a more serious problem, but in my experience, this is less common than the harmless types of spots.

Dynastes Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 A few black spots from damage are harmless but sometimes a bunch of spots are simply a prequel to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
