Depending on the species, beetles can lay up to hundreds of eggs at one time. These eggs are white or yellow in color, and can be laid in rotting wood and leaves, even in animal feces. Some beetle species give birth to live larvae.
Beetle larvae look like tiny grubs or worms. Some beetle species, particularly ones that feed on wood, pose the greatest risk in the larval stage. Beetle larvae shed their exoskeleton approximately 10 times. Once in the pupal stage, beetles will create a cocoon and emerge as fully-formed adults some time later. This amount of time depends on the beetle species and can last from a month to three years.
