Roach collector Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I found this larvae in a rotten stump. Could he be a stag beetle? Any identification would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 My bet is on Pelidnota punctata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach collector Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Ooh that would be a nice suprise I love the orange color to them! How large are they and will they eat beetle jellys? Speaking of beetle larvae I just had some long horn beetles pupate into adults which was very exciting and they turned out to be banded longhorn beetles!

Adults will take beetle jelly though they probably prefer leaves of deciduous trees more.

All About Arthropods Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 My bet is on Pelidnota punctata I agree, it looks a lot like my P.punctata larvae did, they are very beautiful beetles. Mine ended up dying about a month and a half after becoming adults, I think because I couldn't get them enough grape leaves since it was winter and I didn't already have some.
