Habitat Preferences of Fiery clearwing Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of fiery clearwing are typically laid on the bark of deciduous trees often near larval food sources. The larvae bore into the wood where they develop, consuming plant tissue. To find them, inspect damaged or rotten wood, paying attention to exit holes that indicate their presence. Pupation often occurs inside the wood or in the soil near the host plant, so searching around the base of trees could lead to discovery. Adult fiery clearwing are mainly active during the day and are attracted to flowers, especially those with strong scents. Observing flowering plants, particularly in sunny, open areas, could increase the chances of encountering the adults.

When is the Best Time to Observe Fiery clearwing
Adult fiery clearwing are typically active during the day, especially when the sun is shining, as they are likely to be pollinating or seeking mates. Therefore, the best time to search for fiery clearwing would be on sunny days, possibly during late spring to summer when they are most active.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Fiery clearwing
Warm and dry weather conditions are preferable when searching for fiery clearwing, as these are conditions in which many Lepidoptera species are active. Avoid rainy or extremely windy days which could decrease fiery clearwing activity.

How and Where Can You Find Fiery clearwing at Different Life Stages
Egg Fiery clearwing eggs are usually laid on or near the host plant species. Identify the host plant using field guides, then inspect the leaves and stems for tiny, often ovular eggs.
Larva Larvae of fiery clearwing might bore into the wood of host plants, making them more challenging to locate. Search around the base of known host plants for signs of larval activity, such as frass (insect excrement) or entry holes in the bark.
Pupal Fiery clearwing pupae may be found within the host plant or surrounding debris. Inspect damaged areas of host plants and nearby leaf litter for pupae, which will typically be camouflaged.
Adult Adult fiery clearwing are capable fliers and are often mistaken for wasps, which they mimic. Seek fiery clearwing adults by observing flowering plants that they may visit for nectar or by setting up bait traps, while also mimicking the environment of their natural habitat to increase the chance of attracting them.
