Larva, Grant's Hercules Beetle - Dynastes grantii
Madera Canyon, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
October 6, 2021
Size: 75 mm
Larva at 10 months, 20 days from egg
It's not easy to properly measure a living larva curled into a "C". 75 mm long is my best estimate. Again, I did not measure its head capsule. This is probably L3.
Some containers retain moisture better than others, but all larvae appear to be doing fine regardless of the moisture content of the substrate.
