Habitat Preferences of Golofa eacus Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of golofa eacus are subterranean, typically residing in decomposing wood or leaf litter in forested areas, suggesting that to find them, one should search around fallen trees and piles of decaying organic matter. As they progress to pupation, these larvae remain hidden within their chosen material. The adult golofa eacus, conversely, can often be found on the trees, feeding on the sap and plant matter. To seek out adults, one would look at tree trunks and branches, particularly where sap flows or plant material is abundant.
