Life Cycle of Hoshihananomia octopunctata
Egg After being laid, the egg of hoshihananomia octopunctata is small and ovular. Within this stage, initial growth occurs but remains largely unseen. The shell protects the developing embryo inside.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva of hoshihananomia octopunctata emerges as a grub-like, elongated creature primarily focused on feeding and growth. This stage lacks the adult's wings and has a softer exoskeleton.
Pupal As hoshihananomia octopunctata enters the pupal stage, it is encased in a protective cocoon. It undergoes significant transformation, with internal reorganization towards the adult form. The creature is immobile and vulnerable during this transition.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult hoshihananomia octopunctata’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 Hoshihananomia octopunctata
Floral bait traps or light traps at night can be used, as hoshihananomia octopunctata are attracted to both. Since they feed on flowers and sometimes are attracted to fermented baits, sweet substances can also be utilized.
Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Hoshihananomia octopunctata Through Different Life Stages
During its larval stage, hoshihananomia octopunctata is commonly found in decaying wood or plant stems, which serve as a food source and habitat. The pupae often inhabit a small chamber within the same material, indicating the preference for a protected environment during metamorphosis. In search of adult hoshihananomia octopunctata, one should explore flowering plants, as they feed on pollen and nectar and are frequently found perching on or near the blossoms during the day. To increase the chances of encountering the different stages of hoshihananomia octopunctata, investigating under the bark of dead trees and inspecting the underside of leaves on various flowering plants is advised.

How and Where Can You Find Hoshihananomia octopunctata at Different Life Stages
Larva Larval hoshihananomia octopunctata can be found within the soil or rotting wood. To find them, search under logs, bark, or within piles of decaying matter. Gently sift through the substrate, taking care not to harm the larvae.
Pupal Hoshihananomia octopunctata pupae typically form within the soil or in protected areas near the larval food source. Finding them involves carefully excavating soil or examining the nooks in wood or under bark without disturbing them too much.
Adult Adult hoshihananomia octopunctata are often found on or around flowers, as they feed on pollen and nectar. Search flower beds, gardens, and meadows, particularly focusing on bright and aromatic flowers during warmer parts of the day.
