species: cavifrons (Westwood, 1843)
origin: not known to me, widely in western Africa - Cote d´Ivoire, Ghana, Togo
nature size: 45-60 mm
remark: big attractive cetonids, easy to reproduce. Life cycle takes 8-9 months (2-3 in cocoon stage). Average imago life expectancy is about 3-4 months. I keep larvae together 20-30L3/10-15l of substrate, it is worth to feed larvae pretty much - adults are bigger. Too wet (or too dry) substrate in pupal stage causes elytra deformations.
