Habitat Preferences of Neomida bicornis Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of neomida bicornis are typically laid in concealed locations within leaf litter or under bark. Larvae favor dark, moist environments, often burrowing into rotting wood or thriving in compost-rich soil. As pupae, they seek secure niches, commonly within the substrate they were feeding on or in the ground nearby. Adults of neomida bicornis are nocturnal and are typically found under logs, stones, or in the leaf litter where they can find food and shelter during the day. To locate these insects, one would need to search through such organic debris and habitats at the appropriate time for each stage of their lifecycle.

How and Where Can You Find Neomida bicornis at Different Life Stages
Larva Neomida bicornis larvae can be found under logs, rocks, or in leaf litter where they feed on decaying organic matter. Search by gently lifting such debris and sifting through the material underneath.
Pupal Pupae of neomida bicornis are typically found in the soil, where the larvae burrow to pupate. Locate the pupae by carefully digging in the soil and looking for the motionless, chrysalis-like stage.
Adult Adult neomida bicornis can be attracted to light at night or found hiding during the day under rocks, bark, or inside decaying logs. Use a light source to draw them in or carefully explore likely daytime hiding spots.
