Abstract
Time-lapse photography techniques were developed to determine the time required for Anthonomus grandis Boheman, held at 26.6° C, to change from each developmental stage to the next. The mature embryo abraded the egg chorion in 2-4 minutes. The time required from the initial splitting of the cuticle of 2nd- and 3rd-stage larvae to complete cast off of the cuticle was also 2-4 minutes. Durations of the stages were: 2-3 days for the egg; 1-2 days for the larval stadium; 1-1.5 days for the 2nd stadium; 4-7 days for the 3rd stadium including prepupa; and 4 days for pupa.
