Further Investigations into Bruchid Beetles

The following are suggestions for more fun science you can do with Bruchid Beetles. Many of these activities will use the original pods you collected during the Beetle/Seed protocol.

  • Life Cycle Study
    Can we raise Bruchid Beetles in the classroom? Students observe feeding, mating, egg-laying, as well as the complete metamorphosis of the beetles, while studying the complete life cycle of these Sonoran Desert natives.
  • Life Span Study
    Keeping beetles in simple containers and providing them with food allows for several simple classroom investigations.


Other investigations can be found under Lesson Plans
