Second generation of Rainbow Stag Beetles are starting to eclose! This female's exoskeleton is still fresh and soft, looking forward to watching her colors come in as it hardens.

While she and her sisters wait within their pupal chambers. I eagerly await to see what color they will be upon eclosion.

A quick check of my records revealed her eclosion date to be 2/23/25. Which means that a month from now she'll be a year old.

Pupation will come soon for this little grub. The body has begun to flatten out and shorten. It is listless- moving only if disturbed. Just beneath the grub's skin, the pupa is already forming.

The #rainbowstagbeetle larvae have been growing steadily. 6 months ago this grub would have easily fit on top of my thumbnail. In another 6 months, they will begin their transformation into a beetle.

Red Male Rainbow Stag still going strong! Look forward to seeing what his offspring look like.. but that's still gonna take a while, they're still 4 month old grubs.

What can happen is a tiny larva can burrow inside a larger chunk of wood, and its difficult to monitor the animal's growth and health should it do so.

Another few shots of my male Rainbow Stag Beetle. I really need to get a zoom lens someday, then I could REALLY do the colors and intricate details of these animals justice.

Stag Beetles like this female Rainbow Stag here eat with their feathery tongues. In the wild they'll eat sap flows, and fermenting fruit.
