Female reproduction is distributed over their adult life-span which lasts about a year. Flour beetles also display pre-mating discrimination among potential mates. Female flour beetles, specifically of T. castaneum, can mate with different males and may choose more attractive males over the course of their adult life-span. [3]
The confused flour beetle ... Female confused flour beetles are capable of laying 200-500 eggs during their life span. The beetle can be found in grain supplies at ...
The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) is a species of beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, the darkling beetles. The red flour beetle, and other closely related beetles like Gnatocerus cornutus , are a worldwide pest of stored products, particularly food grains , and a model organism for ethological and food safety [ 1 ] research.

The Red flour beetle or Rust-red flour beetle is a red-brown beetle with an exoskeleton that darkens in colour as the beetle increases in age, with the maximum adult age being a year. Unlike primary pests, Rust-red flour beetles can produce up to 1000 eggs and lay them inside the damaged grain with parts of the larvae able to use the damaged ...
The broadhorned flour beetle undergoes 4 major life stages: egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. The total developmental time is about 47 days, about 1.5 times longer than the Tribolium castaneum, or red flour beetle. [2] In the larval stages of broad-horned flour beetles, the quality of their diet influences their development rate without affecting ...
Tribolium lay their eggs in a food source such as flour. These hatch into larvae which proceed to feed and grow within the food, avoiding light. There are usually 7 or 8 larval instars, but there can be as few as 5 or as many as 11 depending on food, temperature and humidity.
