Life Cycle of Spotted flower chafer
Egg The eggs of spotted flower chafer are laid in a secure environment. Tiny and often oval, the eggs are usually found in clusters and have a protective casing. At this time, they are immobile and show no resemblance to the adult spotted flower chafer.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva of spotted flower chafer appears worm-like with a soft, elongated body. It is distinct from the adult spotted flower chafer in its lack of wings and underdeveloped reproductive system. Larvae feed voraciously, leading to rapid growth and multiple molts.
Pupal After the final larval molt, spotted flower chafer enters the pupal stage. Encased in a pupal chamber, it undergoes significant transformation. During this time, the organism is stationary, and the body structure differentiates to take on adult features.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult spotted flower chafer’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.
