Life Cycle of Aristobia approximator
Egg The egg of the aristobia approximator is often oval and laid in clusters. At this stage, it's merely an encapsulated life, safe from environmental challenges but immobile and vulnerable to predators.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva of the aristobia approximator is typically elongated, with a voracious appetite for food to fuel its rapid growth. It moults multiple times, increasing in size with each stage.
Pupal As a pupa, the aristobia approximator is encased in a protective cocoon or cell. It is a transitional period, as tissues and organs undergo reorganization. There's no feeding as metamorphosis takes place.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult aristobia approximator's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find Aristobia approximator at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of aristobia approximator are typically found within the wood of host trees. To find them, inspect trees with visible exit holes or listen for feeding sounds within dead or dying wood. Infested wood can often be identified by frass (sawdust-like excrement) and can be carefully dissected to locate larvae.
Pupal Pupae are often located near the exterior of the host tree just beneath the bark or within the outer layers of wood. To find them, carefully peel back loose bark or split open wood that shows signs of larval tunneling.
Adult Aristobia approximator adults are typically found on or near host trees. Look for them on tree trunks, branches, or where their food sources, like sap, are present. Adults might also be present around lights at dusk or dawn.
