scottbot84 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 After a number of months, an adult pair of Goliathus has emerged for me. The funny part is that they emerged a few weeks ago, after forming pupal cells in November 2020. That puts the total pupation time around 8-9 months, which is longer than I have heard elsewhere. The other interesting part is that I got tired of waiting after about 5 months and made a small hole in the cells, and both were still larvae. They then entered the pupal phase around a month or two after that. Both appear to be healthy and normal, and were as larvae too. The only explanation I can think of is temperature, as my bug room is typically between 71-77 degrees, most of the time on the low side. Has anyone had a similar experience?
