📌 eggs
📌 Rhino beetle eggs / L1 / L2
📌 Rhino beetle L3
🔎 Larvae go through three growth stages along with molting.
L1 = Larval stage 1
L2 = Larval stage 2
L3 = Larval stage 3
📌 Rhino beetle Late L3Â
🔎 As the larvae get closer to metamorphosis into pupae, they turn yellow.
This is called Late L3.
📌 Pupal cell(chamber), Cocoons
🔎 A pupal cell(chamber) is created in the substrate to secure space for metamorphosis into a pupa and molting into an adult.
📌 Prepupal stage
📌 Pupa
📌 Artificial pupa chamber made with Oasis foam
📌 Pupa that emerges into adult beetle
🔎 Egg → L1 → L2 → L3 → Pupa → Adult
🔎 The beetle that has emerged as an adult goes through an 'inactive period' in the pupa cell(cocoon) for about a month.
(They do not eat during the inactive period)
📌 Goliath beetles in active state.
🔎 Once the inactive period is over,
They start eating food.
📌 Mating (pairing)
🔎 With the exception of species such as Homoderus, most beetles are ready to attempt mating about 1 to 2 months after they start eating.
So it usually takes at least 2 to 3 months after emerging from the pupa to be able to mate.
🚩 Generation notation
WD : Collected from the wild
WF1 :Â A child spawned from a wild pair
(The next generation is F2)
CBF1 : A child spawned from different captive bloodline
F2 :Â Â A child spawned from CBF1 or WF1
F3 :Â Â A child spawned from F2
