During this phase, the grubs undergo a colour change from grayish/white into a yellow/cream colour. Once they reach the appropriate depth, the grub empties its stomach and starts to form a smooth oval shaped cell.
The fly larvae feed on the beetle grub in the ground and pupate in the grub cell where they stay over the winter.

A variety of amphibians, some small mammals, including skunks and moles, feed on the grubs.

Consequential dormancy occurs when organisms enter a dormant phase after adverse conditions have arisen. This is commonly found in ...
