Bean beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus, get their lifetime nutrition from the bean seeds (family Fabaceae) on which their mother lays her eggs. The specific bean on which each egg is laid determines the future success of the larva that develops from that egg.

Seeds vary in size (even if from the same plant), so the amount of
During what stage do beetles find the majority of their nutrition?
