User's notes

These were collected a few weeks ago from behind dead bark on my plum tree. The adult beetle was in a mud casing and obviously didn't survive to hatch properly. The larvae in the broken casing seems is still alive and has been maturing and moving. Not sure of the status of the other two casings. Just waiting to see.
