Neoplocaederus ferrugineus Collected around 8 pupae and have started emerging (so far 3 are into adults)... it was my first experience to find this huge pupae with calcareous shell... |

Sorry to bother you here, but I cannot reach you via your email adress which does not seems to work.
I'm currently writting a book about beetles, and I would like to know if perhaps I could reuse your picture to illustrate this peculiar behavior ? Can you contact me by mail?
Thanks a lot, POM

Posted - 25/06/2015 : 18:29:38 Hi all,
For those interested in these weird way of pupation, I found in a book about longhorned beetles larvae (E.A.J. Duffy. 1952 - A monograph of the immature stages of British and imported timber beetles (Cerambycidae), 311 p.) with an explanation around those calcareous cocoons:

Some pictures of Plocaederus basalis (in his book about African timber beetles).

It's very interesting, thanks for sharing it with us. ![](images/icon_smile.gif)
So I guess, on that website when you go to "beetles/Cerambycidae" and then in "Neoplocaederus carolii", It might be also pupation chambers. I was guessing what it was for a long time ! nice observation !![](images/icon_smile_big.gif)

Sangamesh, larvae were buried in the ground ??? Amazing!! I thought that these species emerging from wood!!
Yes! I found them around root zone, pupae were attached to tree trunk below the soil... interestingly grubs were oozing some liquid... find below the images
