When the egg becomes a larvae it grows from 6mm to around 50-100mm. After it grows to around 50-100mm then it will dig deep in the ground and then it will change it's shape into a cocoon that looks like the 6th image below. After the beetle comes out of the cocoon it will stay in the ground for ten days until it's shell is hard enough to go outside.
