Life Cycle of White-footed furrow bee
Egg The egg phase marks the beginning of the white-footed furrow bee's life cycle, characterized by an oval and diminutive form. The color is often pale or translucent, marking the insect's embryonic development stage.
Larva As a larva, the white-footed furrow bee exhibits a worm-like appearance, lacking wings and bearing little resemblance to adults. This stage is primarily for feeding and growth, with molting to accommodate increasing size.
Pupal The pupal stage is when white-footed furrow bee undergoes significant transformation. Encased within a cocoon, this resting phase is marked by reorganization of tissues and development of adult features.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult white-footed furrow 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.

Larva Larvae of white-footed furrow bee develop in the brood cells constructed by adult females. To locate them, search in the vicinity of flowering plants for ground nests or small entrance holes with loose soil around them that may indicate the presence of a nest.
Pupal White-footed furrow bee pupae reside within the nest cell chambers underground. Although it is generally not recommended to disturb white-footed furrow bee at this stage, one may observe the cell structure indirectly using X-ray or other non-invasive imaging techniques if necessary for research.
Adult Adult white-footed furrow bee can be found in areas with abundant flowering plants. Search on sunny days, and look for them as they forage on flowers for nectar and pollen. Observing at different times of the day can help locate these creatures when they are most active.
