As soon as a larva finds a suitable crevice or a protected area in the bark, it thrusts its proboscis into the bark tissues, where it remains permanently. Larvae have not been known to remove themselves from this first location to another after once becoming attached. Larvae which have become detached somewhat later in life are able to crawl about feebly, but finally die without being able to attach.
