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.
