Life span: Adults live for approximately 
  four to six months. Grubs grow quickly,
  usually taking less than 12 months to 
  become adult beetles.

Diet: Adults eat apple or banana slices,
  or many other types of fruit. Grubs will
  eat a mixture of rotten leaves, rotten wood 
  compost, and just about anything else.

Notes: Grubs can be kept together without
  hurting or disturbing each other until they 
  are almost ready to pupate. They should then
  be separated, unless they are in a container
  with lots of room. Grubs form a hard shell
  from the surrounding dirt to protect 
  themselves as they become adults. The 
  container should not be moved or disturbed
  at this point or the grubs will break out of 
  their pupal cells. Females need some of the
  substrate that grubs have lived in to induce
  egg laying. Without this they will lay few to
  no eggs.
