When is the Best Time to Observe Athous subfuscus
The best time to find adult athous subfuscus is likely during the night or twilight hours when many beetles are active. However, for the larval stages, daytime searching could be more fruitful, especially when turning over soil or searching under rocks where larvae or pupae may hide.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Athous subfuscus
Ideal weather conditions for finding athous subfuscus would depend on the stage of its life cycle, but typically a warm and humid climate might be preferable. Adult beetles are often more active during warmer conditions, whereas moist soil after rain could bring larvae closer to the surface.

How and Where Can You Find Athous subfuscus at Different Life Stages
Egg Athous subfuscus eggs are often laid in the soil or in decaying wood. To find them, carefully sift through the top layers of soil near host plants or inspect the crevices of old logs and bark.
Larva Athous subfuscus larvae, known as wireworms, live underground and can be found by digging into soil, rotting logs, or decomposing matter. Look for slender, shiny, and elongated larvae that tend to squirm actively when exposed.
Pupal Athous subfuscus pupae are typically formed within the soil or within the decaying material in which they have been living. Unearth them by carefully excavating in likely areas where you found the larvae or close to them.
Adult Adult athous subfuscus are often found on the vegetation or flying around lights at night. You can locate them by using a flashlight or setting up a light trap during evening hours, or by sweeping net through low vegetation during the day.
