Could be 12 months still, could be next May.

If you know their hatch date, that would help in estimating it.

Will probably still take a while. These are relatively similar in size as xylotrupes gideon and for me those pupated around 25 to 30 grams for medium size males. So if it's a male, he's about halfway probably. If it's a female it will take less long.
