Larva As larvae, twin spot longhorn beetle have a worm-like appearance, lacking wings and functional reproductive organs. They are focused on feeding and growth, molting several times as they increase in size.
Pupal Entering pupation, twin spot longhorn beetle forms a pupal case within which they undergo drastic transformation. Their tissues reorganize, developing the structures of the adult form.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult twin spot longhorn beetle features wings and functional reproductive organs. The exoskeleton is hardened, and their coloration is often distinctive, signaling sexual maturity and species identity.

Habitat Preferences of Twin spot longhorn beetle Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of twin spot longhorn beetle are typically found inside the stems and twigs of herbaceous plants, especially preferring those that are weakened or dying. The pupae develop within the same tunnels created by the larvae, just beneath the bark or within the pith of the plants. Adults are usually found on or near host plants, as they are attracted to the foliage where they feed, mate, and lay eggs. In searching for these stages, one would inspect herbaceous stems for entry holes or frass to discover larvae, peel back bark to find pupae, and observe leaves and flowers during the day to locate adults.
