Life Cycle of Ips sexdentatus
Egg The egg stage marks the beginning of the ips sexdentatus's life cycle. The tiny, often oval eggs are typically laid in protected areas and are the color and size that blends with the environment for camouflage.
Larva As larvae, ips sexdentatus are markedly different from adults, lacking developed wings and reproductive organs. Their primary function is feeding and growth, which involves several molts, leading to increased size.
Pupal During this stage, ips sexdentatus undergoes significant transformation inside a pupa. The insect is generally immobile and vulnerable, as its tissues and organs are restructured for its adult form.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult ips sexdentatus’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.
