Life Cycle of Eulaema polychroma
Egg Upon laying, the egg of eulaema polychroma is tiny and barely visible to the naked eye. Over time, it swells slightly as the embryo develops within, yet remains a static structure.
Larva When the larva of eulaema polychroma emerges, it displays a worm-like appearance with no wings, and a voracious appetite focused on growth. Color varies from white to cream, lacking adult markings.
Pupal During the pupal phase, eulaema polychroma is dormant within a protective cocoon. Drastic transformation occurs as tissues break down and reorganize into the adult form, not feeding during this time.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult eulaema polychroma displays wings and functional reproductive organs. Its body is distinctly patterned, hardened for protection, and it seeks to feed and reproduce.

Eulaema polychroma is typically active in warm, dry weather. They may not be active during rainy days or when temperatures are low.
Rectangle
How and Where Can You Find Eulaema polychroma at Different Life Stages
Larva Eulaema polychroma larvae are usually found inside the hive or nesting site. To find larval eulaema polychroma, locate eulaema polychroma nests which may be in hollow trees, near the ground, or in man-made structures. Take caution not to disturb the habitat or the creatures.
Pupal In the pupal stage, eulaema polychroma are usually in the same nesting sites as the larvae, undergoing metamorphosis inside a cocoon-like cell. Finding pupal eulaema polychroma might require careful observation inside a nest, without causing harm or stress to the hive.
Adult Adult eulaema polychroma can be found on or around flowers where they are gathering nectar and pollen. To find an adult eulaema polychroma, one should visit a variety of flowering plants during the day when the temperature is warm and when the sun is out. Observe the flowers and look for eulaema polychroma working on them.

Toxic to Animals

Eulaema polychroma typically harms other animals through a bite with their fangs, distributing venom. The venom has a function that can cause mild discomfort or health issues. For example, humans might experience minor symptoms at the site of the bite, while mammals such as dogs may show similar mild reactions. Insects, on the other hand, can be more significantly affected due to their smaller size and different physiology. It is the adult stage of eulaema polychroma that possesses this toxic capability.

Eulaema meriana
Eulaema meriana

Eulaema meriana resembles a bumblebee in appearance and is covered in short dense hairs. At first glance Eulaema bees look like large bumblebee queens. They are relatively large bees with faint metallic colorations. The head of the bee is black, and the thorax brownish black with a large, glossy black scutellum. Their abdomen is black with three transverse pale yellowish bands on the anterior half, and the posterior third is reddish brown. E. meriana also possess membranous wings that are dark at the base and paler at the tips. The legs are black and the tibia of the hind legs are much thicker. Males possess hollows on their hind legs, while females have pollen baskets. In general, the species have long tongues that are thought to be an evolutionary adaptation that favors nectar collection. The large body size is thought to allow the bees to fly in cooler, rainy conditions and continue foraging. It has also been suggested that the larger body size can help them forage for longer distances.
