Life Cycle of Ceratoryctoderus candezei
Egg The eggs of ceratoryctoderus candezei are oval and laid in soil or on plants. Incubation is temperature-dependent, resulting in tiny, immobile larvae upon hatching.
Larva Larvae of ceratoryctoderus candezei are grub-like with a creamy white body and a brown head. They undergo several molts, increasing in size as they feed voraciously, usually on plant material.
Pupal Ceratoryctoderus candezei enters the pupal stage encased in a cocoon within soil. Transformation into an adult occurs, with significant changes in form, and appendages distinct but encased within the pupal exoskeleton.
Adult The adult ceratoryctoderus candezei emerges from the pupa with hardened exoskeletons. They exhibit sexual dimorphism with males sporting large horns. Adults are typically active, with their primary focus on mating and laying eggs.

Habitat Preferences of Ceratoryctoderus candezei Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of ceratoryctoderus candezei are typically found in decaying wood or compost where they feed and develop. Searching for them involves sifting through rotting logs or digging into humus-rich soil in forested areas. Adult ceratoryctoderus candezei prefer a habitat with plenty of trees, so they are most commonly spotted on trunks and branches where they feed on sap and can be found by carefully examining these areas during the night when they are most active.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Ceratoryctoderus candezei
The best time to find adult ceratoryctoderus candezei is at night since many beetles are nocturnal and more active during this time. Larvae can often be found throughout the day under logs or in decaying matter.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Ceratoryctoderus candezei
Warm, humid nights are ideal for finding adult ceratoryctoderus candezei, as beetles generally prefer moist environments. After rain may also be a good time to look for them, when the humidity is high and they are more apt to be active.
Rectangle
How and Where Can You Find Ceratoryctoderus candezei at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of ceratoryctoderus candezei can be found in decaying wood or compost heaps. Search through such materials with gloves to safely uncover and locate the larvae.
Pupal Pupae of ceratoryctoderus candezei are typically hidden in the substrate or soil. Locating them involves carefully digging through the soft earth or rotten wood where larvae were found.
Adult Adult ceratoryctoderus candezei can be found by setting up light traps at night to attract them or by searching on and under the bark of trees, as well as near fermented fruit or tree sap which they are attracted to.
