I have been trying to pupate some of my
Coniontis sp larva, and I have had success! They seem to pupate readily in small containers filled with moist, not wet, compressed coconut fiber. They dig to the bottom, make a pupal cell, and pupate a few weeks later. The pupa are unusually quite hairy. Here are some pics!

I removed this pupa from its cell to get good pictures of it, I have it on a thin layer of moist coconut fiber.

I can't wait to see some adults! That's it for today guys, hope you enjoyed! :)
