After seven days the larvae stop feeding and move into the pupal stage where they remain for another 7 days, leading to a total developmental time from egg to adult of approximately 14 days at 25 �C . The " Nasonia " males, which emerge several hours before the females, escape by chewing small holes in the hosts puparium.
