How and Where Can You Find Dyschirius globosus at Different Life Stages
Larva Dyschirius globosus larvae are typically found in the soil or under debris such as leaves, logs, or stones. To find them, gently dig in the soil or carefully lift and examine debris in a variety of habitats, including fields, forests, and along water bodies.
Pupal Dyschirius globosus pupae are relatively immobile and are usually found in the soil. Locate them by carefully excavating the soil around the areas where dyschirius globosus larvae were found, being mindful not to disturb or damage the pupae.
Adult Finding adult dyschirius globosus can be achieved by searching at night with a flashlight or headlamp, as they may be attracted to light or active on the ground. Look in areas with loose soil or leaf litter, and consider using pitfall traps—a simple cup or container buried in the ground with the rim at surface level—without bait as dyschirius globosus may fall in while they are active.
