Life Cycle of Brown-winged sweat bee
Egg The egg is the initial phase in brown-winged sweat bee's life cycle, characterized by minimal movement and a focus on the consumption of nutrients provided by the yolk or plant tissue, depending on brown-winged sweat bee's oviposition strategies.
Larva In the larval stage, brown-winged sweat bee exhibits a worm-like form, lacking wings and defined legs. This period is marked by rapid feeding and growth, leading to molts that allow for size increase.
Pupal As a pupa, brown-winged sweat bee undergoes transformation in a quiescent state. The pupa is immobile and protected by a cocoon or cell where the body structure, wings, and legs develop internally, preparing for adulthood.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult brown-winged sweat bee'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 Brown-winged sweat bee Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of brown-winged sweat bee are typically found in underground nests dug by female bees, often in well-drained, sandy soils. As larvae, they reside within these brood cells where they feed on provisions left by the mother. Pupation also occurs within these cells, hidden from view. Adults are commonly spotted on or near flowering plants in gardens, meadows, and open woodland areas, where they forage for pollen and nectar. To locate each stage, one should inspect suitable habitats: search the soil for nests and observe flowers for adults. The search should be conducted during the appropriate seasons when each stage is known to be active.

How and Where Can You Find Brown-winged sweat bee at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of brown-winged sweat bee are not typically observed in the environment, as they develop inside the nest's brood cells. To observe them, one may locate and carefully inspect the nests, which are often underground or in hollow stems, without harming the habitat.
Pupal The pupal stage of brown-winged sweat bee occurs within the nest, and like the larval stage, it is difficult to observe. Interested individuals must locate the nests, which can sometimes be identified by the presence of small entrance holes on the ground or in wood.
Adult Adult brown-winged sweat bee can be found amongst flowers while foraging for nectar and pollen. Look for them in gardens, meadows, or any areas with abundant flowering plants. Observing during peak foraging times and using minimal disturbance will increase chances of finding them.
