Derobrachus hovorei hatches from eggs into grubs, which live underground for as many as three years; as a result, the huge grubs can be uncovered by gardeners doing routine yard maintenance, especially in flower beds surrounding lawns which contain susceptible trees.The larvae are cream colored to pale green, typically with a brown head, and feed on the roots of trees, causing branches to die back.
