The eggs hatch between 10 to 35 days depending on the temperature. The larvae can last at least a year depending on the quality of the food supply. The adult beetle lives from seven to 41 days. The adults appear in April, May and June and their resulting larvae hibernate during the following winter pupating during the latter part of February and March.
