Life Cycle of Notonecta viridis
Egg Before hatching, the eggs of notonecta viridis are usually deposited in clusters and anchored to plants. They are small, often elongated, and display little to no mobility. The eggs embody the potential for growth, containing the developing embryo.
Nymph Emerging from the eggs, notonecta viridis nymphs resemble small adults but lack fully developed wings and reproductive organs. They undergo several molts, with each stage increasing in size, developing wing pads, and gaining more defined structures.
Adult The mature notonecta viridis features fully developed wings and sex organs. Marked by a drastic shift in size and coloration, adults possess hardened exoskeletons. They are now highly mobile, ready for reproduction, feeding, and dispersal.

Habitat Preferences of Notonecta viridis Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of notonecta viridis are typically found attached to underwater vegetation in freshwater bodies such as ponds and slow-flowing streams. Nymphs inhabit similar aqueous environments, often staying closer to the surface where they prey on other small aquatic organisms. For adults, search around the same freshwater habitats; they are skillful swimmers that can frequently be seen on the water surface, but they can also fly, so checking the nearby shores and vegetation is advisable as they may rest or lay eggs there.
