Life Cycle of Common orange legionnaire
Egg The egg stage of common orange legionnaire is characterized by small, often oval-shaped eggs laid in suitable habitats. These are immobile and will develop into larvae upon hatching, varying in color but usually displaying a whitish or translucent hue.
Larva After hatching, larval common orange legionnaire exhibits a worm-like appearance, lacking true legs. As larvae, they undergo several molts, increasing in size with each instar. Their coloration can vary, and they are focused on feeding and growth.
Pupal Transitioning into the pupal stage, common orange legionnaire becomes immobile and encased within a puparium. Here, it undergoes significant transformation, where tissues are reorganized into the adult form. The pupa may darken over time.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult common orange legionnaire's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How Can You Attract Common orange legionnaire
Since adult common orange legionnaire are likely to feed on nectar or are not interested in food at all, traps with sweet substances like rotting fruit or sugary solutions could attract them.
Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Common orange legionnaire Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of common orange legionnaire are generally laid in moist soil or decaying organic matter. The larvae prefer damp environments rich in organic material, often found in leaf litter, under bark, or in compost piles. Once they become pupae, they typically remain in the same general area but will burrow slightly into the soil or substrate for protection. Adults can be spotted in areas with flowering plants, as they feed on nectar and may also be near lights at night. To search for these stages, one would inspect moist soil and decaying matter for eggs and larvae, check nearby for pupae, and visit flowers or light sources for adults.

How and Where Can You Find Common orange legionnaire at Different Life Stages
Larva Common orange legionnaire larvae can usually be found in wet or damp habitats such as soil, rotting wood, or near water bodies. Search these areas, gently turning over soil or decaying plant matter to locate the larvae.
Pupal Common orange legionnaire pupae are typically stationary and camouflaged. You can find them in similar habitats to the larvae; look for them attached to fixed structures under a protective layer or among detritus.
Adult Adult common orange legionnaire can be found in areas with abundant flowers, as they're likely to be pollinators. Search flowering plants, especially those native to the region, during the day. They may also be found resting on vegetation or sunny spots in the morning as they warm up.
