**Please note, do not release them.

Beetle larvae go through 3 different stages: L1, L2, and L3. After the L3 stage, the larva undergoes pupation, transforming into an adult beetle! This is an L2 or L3 larva, which takes 10-12 months to become an adult beetle.

Larva rearing tips:

  1. Recommended to maintain controlled temperature and ventilation.
  2. Larvae generally do not respond well to food other than kawarate kinshi; it is advisable to use kawarate kinshi.
  3. Males start changing containers at 4-5 months, while females start building pupation chambers.
  4. Use heavy pressure fungus to prevent runaway.
