They start to feed on roots of clover and pasture plants from the time they hatch until September. They undergo three stages before pupation. During the summer months, the grubs moult and reach their second instar phase. By early autumn, they are usually fully grown and have reached their third instar phase.
Grubbing is performed following clearance of trees to their stumps, preceding construction. [1] In animal behaviour grubbing is a feeding technique, referring to digging and uprooting of roots and rhizomes of plants. It is employed by geese, especially greater and lesser snow geese and Canada geese, [2] as well as swine. [3]

The nest is cup-shaped and composed of sticks, consolidated with earth and lined with grasses, moss, roots, dead leaves and straw. [9] Small branches and twigs are broken off trees, though as many are likely to be stolen from nearby nests as are collected direct, and the lining material is also often taken from other nests. [15]
The grubs can live within the host for several years until eaten by a bird host. When the parasitized host is eaten, the grub matures in the throat of the bird. The eggs of the parasite known as a metacercariae are then released into the water through the bird's mouth when feeding and become adult flukes. This completes the life cycle.

They are the larvae of Ancognatha scarabaeoides [4] and Rhynchophorus palmarum [5] which are considered pests that can attack crops, destroying them partially or totally, or affecting them from the root. [2] The weevils burrow into the aguaje tree, lays eggs, and after hatching, the grubs feed on the oily bark. [3]
