Melaworm pupa

[larry26]

i just got the first pupa from the colonie that i have started and i wanted to know how long will it take for the pupa to turn into a beetle and how long will the beetle last?

Stage Time*
Egg Incubation 4-19 days (usually 4-7). Another source says 20-40 days
Larva 10 weeks. Visible after about a week
Pupa 6-18 (18-24?) days
Beetle and Egg Laying 8-12 weeks (followed by death). Egg laying starts 4-19 days (average 12) after emergence
