The bodies of the larvae are covered in setae.
The bottom of the abdomen is yellowish-brown while the dorsal surface is dark brown, usually with a yellow line in the middle.
There are two urogomphi that are on the upper surface of the last segment and curve upward and away from the tip of the abdomen.
The pupa is shaped like an oval, is usually smaller than the larvae, and do not have setae.
The first documented case of papular urticaria was caused by the larvae.
No preference was found for the larvae out of calf meat, chicken meat, and pellet feed for rodents.
The pupae may be cannibalized by the larvae.
