Case enlargement in Neochlamisus is an elaborate process that larvae perform regularly until the case is sealed to the substrate prior to pupation. During this stage of the life cycle, beetles are immobile and are particularly vulnerable to predation.
Larval case enlargement in Neochlamisus is a crucial part of their life cycle that involves repeated growth and attachment to the substrate prior to pupation. This process makes them immobile and vulnerable to predation during this stage.
