Life Cycle of Rough-haired lagria beetle
Egg The egg stage is when the rough-haired lagria beetle begins life. Eggs are usually laid in protected locations and vary in color. The eggs are small and inconspicuous, serving as the development stage for the embryo inside.
Larva During the larval stage, the rough-haired lagria beetle has a worm-like appearance and continuously feeds to support rapid growth. This stage is characterized by several molts, where the larva increases in size and complexity with each molt.
Pupal Entering the pupal stage, the rough-haired lagria beetle undergoes transformation inside a protective cocoon. It is immobile, with major internal reorganization occurring. The pupa can exhibit changes in color as development proceeds.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult rough-haired lagria beetle’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.

Habitat Preferences of Rough-haired lagria beetle Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of rough-haired lagria beetle are typically laid in the soil or under leaf litter in moist areas. Larvae, undergoing complete metamorphosis, are found in similar habitats, often eating decaying plant matter or fungi. Pupation also occurs in the ground, where they develop into their adult form. The adults, when emerged, can generally be seen on flowers, leaves, or fallen wood where they feed and mate. To search for these insects, one might start by sifting through leaf litter or gently excavating soil for eggs and larvae; for pupae, examining the upper layer of soil is key. Adults could be spotted by examining the foliage and blossom of plants during warm, sunny days.

The most appropriate time to search for rough-haired lagria beetle would typically be at dusk or during the night when many beetle species are most active.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Rough-haired lagria beetle
Weather conditions that are not too cold or overly windy are preferable, as beetles may be less active in such extremes. Mild and damp conditions often yield better results in finding rough-haired lagria beetle.
Rectangle
How and Where Can You Find Rough-haired lagria beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva To find rough-haired lagria beetle larvae, search in the soil or under debris since these larvae commonly reside underground or within decaying wood. Use a shovel or trowel to carefully dig and sift through potential habitats.
Pupal Rough-haired lagria beetle pupae are typically immobile and might be hard to distinguish. Look for them in similar environments as the larvae, such as in soil or hidden beneath organic debris.
Adult Rough-haired lagria beetle adults can be found on vegetation, flowers, or around sources of light at night. Spotting them may require a flashlight and a gentle approach to avoid startling the insect.
