The larvae go through three stages of development, and may reach a massive weight of 100 g. At the end of larval stage 3, the larva creates a large, oval cocoon of decayed wood and earth, where it transforms into a pupa, which hatches out in another two months. The total generation span from egg to adult beetle may take 13–18 months. [2]

The first illustration of an "exceedingly beautiful shining gold and red, three horned beetle" was published in 1747 by August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof, and a first description was done by Laurens Theodorus Gronovius in 1764, but the names applied were non-binomial and therefore invalid for nomenclatural purposes.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns (whose larvae are often referred to as roundheaded borers), are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described.
When viewed from above, most beetles appear to have three clear sections, but this is deceptive: on the beetle's upper surface, the middle section is a hard plate called the pronotum, which is only the front part of the thorax; the back part of the thorax is concealed by the beetle's wings. This further segmentation is usually best seen on the ...
They are subsocial (brood caring) beetles that live in groups within rotting logs or stumps. [2] The beetles will excavate tunnel systems within rotting wood where the females then lay their eggs. [3] They care for their young by preparing food for them and helping the larvae construct the pupal case.
