The word bathos came into English in the 17th century from the Greek word bathos, which literally means âdepth.â In the 18th century English poet Alexander Pope gave the word its current meaning of a descent from lofty to trite. We often use it for movies or books.
Figure 1 â Beetle Egg Development Rates/Temperatures As temperature increases in the litter and floor, the period of time required for a darkling beetle egg to hatch decreases from an average of 13.4 days to 2.56 days at 100Â° F. Temperatures below 68Â° F delay egg hatching beyond the 13.4 day period.
It is common for the beetle to lay the eggs down the old Flight holes , and tunnels, often well below the surface. The Eggs are laid singly or in rows of two, three or four.The Egg has a life of 14 to 28 days after laying.(b) The Larvae live eating away within the wood for approx. 3 to 4 years.t is common for the beetle to lay the eggs down the old Flight holes , and tunnels, often well below the surface.
