The Breeding/Rearing of Dynastes hercules hercules by Kay » Figure 5.1 Shown in this picture is a male pupa of about 165 mm in length. Note that the maximum length of the pupal cell is about 190 mm. For the captive rearing of this individual, the author used a 60 liter container (see Figure 3.1.2), which was filled with hardened black dirt up to 10 cm high from the bottom and with rearing substrate (see 4. A breeding/rearing substrate) softly added on it for 20 cm high. The hardened bottom layer of black dirt helped the larva make this solid pupal cell.
