Biology

Adult females fly to elephant dung for oviposition and lay eggs on the dung. Larval stages then grow inside elephant dung by constructing ovoid cocoons. After the pupation, adults emerged after about a month. [2] In addition, adults are also known to attack arboreal nests of Oecophylla smaragdina . [3] In India, adults frequently nests of the wasp, Ropalidia montana , the first record that a cetoniid species observed to have an association with a social insect. [4]
