Asian long-horned beetle larvae do not pupate before they reach a critical weight, so additional larval instars can occur. [ 2 ] Pupation usually occurs in spring at the end of the larval tunnel in the sapwood , eclosion occurs 12–50 days later, and adults will chew out of the tree approximately one week after eclosion.

Anoplophora is a genus of beetles in the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). They are native to Asia. [1] Most are large and colorful and thus are depicted in artwork and sought after by beetle collectors. [2] The genus also includes several notorious pest insects. [1]

This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...

The life span of the adult P. californicus is 10 – 20 days. [1] Shortly after mating the female lays cream to yellow-brown 4.8 mm long eggs, of which she can produce up to 200 in her lifetime. She lays them 1.25 to 3.8 cm below the soil surface near the roots of suitable hosts.
The citrus long-horned beetle has a life cycle of approximately one to two years. Adult beetles can be found from April to December. They are most active from May to July. [9] Upon developing through all the instars of the larval stage, they then transition to the pupal stage, where they remain for 4-6 weeks.
