ZacharyP93 Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM So they pupated in the main container I had them in. I took them out because I wanted to get a head count. I placed them back on top of the soil each in their own little depression uncovered. My main fear is they’ll dry up…or die because I have them like this. Should I cover them back up? Keep them as is? This is my first time dealing with these beetles. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted Friday at 12:13 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:13 AM Should be near zero vents, otherwise you could dry out pupae in a day enough they would never recover from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this apply for all pupae? Or mostly just lucanus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
