Next spring, the larvae pupate and emerge in late May or early June as beetles that live 2 to 4 weeks. |
At the end of the third instar, the larva wriggles out of its warble, falls to the ground, and burrows into the soil to pupate. |
Sawflies infest fruitlets and cause these to drop prematurely after which the pests pupate in the topsoil. |
The larvae enter the host, feed, and grow, and after approximately 7-10 days they emerge and pupate, killing the cricket. |
Fifth instar caterpillars pupate under rocks or in the litter beneath host plant patches in mid-June to mid-July. |
After approximately three weeks of feeding in the spring, they pupate and emerge as adults about 10 days later. |
