Jordan Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is probably a really stupid question but is there a real difference between major an minor size? To make this more clear of a question is a beetle either major or minor or do they all have the ability to go from minor to major? Thanks, Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Jordan, nearly all larvae have the chance to become majors, all males/females posses the ability to make larvae with the qualities to make "majors", it's a matter of nutrition and overcrowding. Now, not all majors will be HUGE, that is pre-determined by genes ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regiarbol Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Also, no growth occurs once the larva becomes a beetle, so if the the beetle is minor, it will stay minor forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
