Prionus californica - Prionus californicus
Copyright © 2005 Jim McClarin

Prionus californica - Prionus californicus
Folsom, Sacramento County, California, USA
April 2, 2005
Size: about 55 - 60 mm
The grub, fresh from California, is considerably longer than the eventual adult beetle would be. It took readily to dry puppy food -- something I can't say about all the cerambycids I've tried to feed it to.
