Atlas Beetle Pupa
Chalcosoma atlas (pupa)
The pupa rests inside a protective chamber formed in soil or rotten wood in tropical forest habitat. It does not feed or actively travel during this transformation stage. Its hardened pupal covering protects the developing beetle as adult wings, legs, and horns take shape.
