Unfortunately, this bug hatched but didn’t live more than a couple of days. That happens sometimes. I’m not sure why – I keep the grubs of individual species in exactly the same conditions. And with the larger species, such as this one, in separate hatching containers. One of its siblings has since hatched and is doing well, and I’m still waiting on the last one. I’m hoping to start a colony of these because they are absolutely stunning to look at.
