The first male of my prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei has pupated :)
u/Straight-Vacation-42 — 13 days ago

The deformed female somehow didn't devellop it's tarsi so when it emerged it still had the pupa feet and it also has a deformed wing. Most of the pupa feet have died of now so i'm hoping she can still live a regular life but without her tarsi then.
Found a decent way to get pictures of them. They're still nothing compared to seeing them in real life but it's good enough lol.
The internet says 3 weeks to a month but my first female is about a week old now and is already making holes in the tissue paper it is in. She's still pretty slow but her legs seem to be working pretty good already. So i'm just not sure when to feed her because too early is bad and too late is obviously also bad.
