Life Cycle
provided by University of Alberta Museums
As in other Monochamus species adults will feed for a short period, mate, and the female will lay eggs in irregular shaped holes in coniferous trees. Larvae will emerge and begin feeding on the wood under the bark causing oval shaped tunnels. No information on the duration of the lifecycle is mentioned, but since they only occur in warmer areas one could assume it is the 1 year cycle.
