Strategus eggs/grubs L1 - Strategus
Lakeland, Polk County, Florida, USA
November 4, 2007
Size: 4 mm
Comparison of newly emerged grubs with freshly laid egg from breeding pair. I believe these are S. aloeus but cannot be certain since splendens was also in my container. Egg is about 2 mm while the grub is about 4 mm.
