So to answer the original question, how long it takes for cavities to form really depends on a variety of factors. If Team Remineralization is healthy and playing well, it might take years for a cavity to form. If Team Decay has the momentum however, a cavity might form in weeks to months, depending on how severely tilted the balance of the tug-o-war teams is. -Nicolas K. Young, DMD. Dentist Orem Utah.
The lifecycle takes about one year. Females lay 60 to 75 eggs over a period of about two weeks in midsummer. The white egg at first is elliptical (1.5 mm by 2.1 mm) but becomes more spherical as the larva inside develops. These hatch into white grubs about 18 days after laying. The newly hatched larvae are 8 mm long and grow to a length around 40 mm. Whitish with a brownish-black head, the grubs have conspicuous brown spiracles along the sides of their bodies. They molt twice before winter.
