Interesting article. There's a few points that I can't seem to reconcile:
"[They will lay 50-100 eggs over a period of 1-2 months then die. The eggs will hatch in 7-14 days]" In reference to freezing: "This is another futile effort which is just a waste of time. Though freezing will kill active adults and larva, the eggs and pupa will readily survive these conditions for many months." In reference to an aerosol pesticide: "These applications will last at least 30 days and will generally be around long enough to kill off any larva which hatch since most emerge from their eggs in less then a month. " Essentially, what I'm getting at is within this article it both says that eggs hatch soon after being laid and can lay dormant for a long time. What biological advantage is provided by this alleged period of dormancy? Has anyone had a larva hatch from a cigar that has been under their care for a long period of time? If so what was that period of time? I have to believe that there is some ticking time limit to an egg's viability even given a friendly environment. Thoughts?
