Life Cycle of Epeorus latifolium
Egg The eggs of epeorus latifolium are laid on or near water. They are oval and microscopic, usually clumped together to increase survival rates. They lack mobility and exhibit no feeding behavior.
Naiad After hatching, the naiad of epeorus latifolium has an elongated body adapted to aquatic life. It lacks wings but possesses gills for breathing underwater. The naiad molts several times, growing larger.
Subimago The subimago stage of epeorus latifolium is a transitional phase where wings and reproductive structures develop partially. The creature's color and size change slightly, and it starts venturing out of water.
Adult Emerging from the subimago, the adult epeorus latifolium displays fully developed wings and genitalia. Its coloration may become brighter, and the body is optimized for flight and mating, with little feeding.

How and Where Can You Find Epeorus latifolium at Different Life Stages
Naiad Epeorus latifolium naiads are aquatic and can be found in streams or rivers with a gravelly or rocky substrate. Look for them by turning over stones in the water or using a small net to sift through the sediment.
Subimago During the epeorus latifolium subimago stage, the creature is transitioning and can be found near bodies of water, often on vegetation or other structures. Searching near the banks of streams or river edges in the evening can be productive.
Adult Epeorus latifolium adults can be found during mating swarms which typically occur near water bodies. The use of a light trap at night or netting can effectively capture epeorus latifolium during this ephemeral and active stage.
