The way is very unusual: The females seek in the leaves einzugraben substrate, and thereafter, or into a small package zusammenzufalten in which it laid an egg. After two to four weeks slip then the larvae, which are no difficulties of the common substrate (In the former case, alder leaf litter compost) ate and grew remarkably quickly. The next problem in the attitude of Dicranocephalus wallichi, as in many other Asian Rosenkäfern also, in the successful Verpuppung. The larvae pupate only in clay soil, and even then only if this is below the substrate. It is better to Verpuppung the larvae to isolate, since they would otherwise interfere with, or the puppet of the other caves destroyed.
