Habitat Preferences of Drunella triacantha Through Different Life Stages
In its naiad stage, drunella triacantha is predominantly found in clean, cold freshwater rivers or streams with a gravel or sand substrate, where oxygenation is abundant. Searching for naiads involves inspecting under stones or in riffle areas. During the dun stage, drunella triacantha moves towards the water surface and surrounding vegetation, so one must check near or above the waterline, particularly on aquatic plants, to observe them. The final stage, the adult drunella triacantha, is commonly found in areas adjacent to the water body, such as banks or overhanging trees, where mating swarms form. To locate adult drunella triacantha, the search should be conducted in these adjacent terrestrial habitats, especially during the evening when the adults are most active.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Drunella triacantha
The best time to find drunella triacantha is during their emergence period, which is often at dusk or dawn, depending on the species. Adult drunella triacantha is generally short-lived and can be found most abundantly during and shortly after their hatching periods.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Drunella triacantha
Calm, warm, and humid weather is typically most suitable for finding drunella triacantha, as these conditions favor the emergence and flight of the adults. Heavy rains or cold temperatures can hinder their activity and make them harder to locate.

How and Where Can You Find Drunella triacantha at Different Life Stages
Naiad Drunella triacantha naiads live underwater and can be found clinging to rocks, aquatic vegetation, or in the sediment of clean rivers and streams. To find them, carefully turn over submerged rocks or use a kick net to dislodge and capture them from the substrate.
Subimago The subimago stage of drunella triacantha, also known as the dun stage, can be found by searching near the water's edge, particularly on vegetation, rocks, or other structures where they may rest after emerging from the water to complete their first molt.
Adult Adult drunella triacantha, or spinners, can often be found in the air near bodies of water as they engage in mating flights. Look for them at dusk when they are most active, using a light trap to attract and catch them more easily.
