Life Cycle of Serratella setigera
Egg Upon oviposition, the eggs of serratella setigera remain submerged, often attached to substrate in freshwater environments. Adaption to aquatic life is evident in their shape and gelatinous covering, which provides protection.
Naiad The naiad stage of serratella setigera involves multiple instars, growing in size and complexity with each molt. These aquatic naiads exhibit gills for underwater respiration and are streamlined for swimming, foraging for food on submerged vegetation.
Subimago The subimago of serratella setigera is a transitional phase, revealing wings and adult-like features, yet retaining their dull coloration. They are capable of flight but are sexually immature and their exoskeleton is not fully sclerotized.
Adult Emerging as a delicate adult, the serratella setigera sports transparent wings and distinctive body coloration. At this ephemeral stage of terrestrial life, they exhibit reproductive maturity, engaging in short-lived breeding activities before death.

What is the Best Weather to Observe Serratella setigera
Calm and warm weather can increase the activity level of serratella setigera, making it easier to find them during such conditions, especially when they are adults and engaged in mating flights.

How and Where Can You Find Serratella setigera at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of serratella setigera are typically laid on the surface of the water. To find them, search on calm water, particularly around vegetation near the shore where the eggs might be attached.
Naiad Serratella setigera naiads live underwater and are found clinging to rocks or in sediment. Look for them by carefully overturning stones in streams or using a kick net to collect samples from the water column.
Subimago During the subimago stage, serratella setigera metamorphose and emerge from the water to molt. This stage is short-lived, but you can find them near water bodies, on vegetation, or any nearby structure where they might rest to molt.
Adult Serratella setigera adults are found above water, usually in mating swarms. They are most visible at dusk, flying over streams or rivers. To observe them, stand near a water body during the late afternoon to evening transition.
