Life Cycle of Simulium nacojapi
Egg Laid in aquatic environments, the simulium nacojapi egg is small and ovoid. Coloration varies, typically mimicking the surroundings to avoid predation. The egg stage lasts a few days before larvae emerge.
Larva The larvae of simulium nacojapi are legless and equipped with mouth brushes for filter-feeding. They're generally darker and markedly different in shape from adults, undergoing several molts to increase in size.
Pupal The simulium nacojapi pupa is a non-feeding, cocoon-like stage. It's lighter, sometimes silvery, with developing appendages visible. The size increases slightly from the larval stage, and transformation within occurs.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult simulium nacojapi'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.

Habitat Preferences of Simulium nacojapi Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of simulium nacojapi are found in flowing water, particularly rivers, clinging to submerged rocks, plants, or other debris. To locate them, one can inspect these surfaces in smaller streams and creeks where the flow is consistent. The pupae also inhabit similar aquatic environments, often enveloped within a cocoon attached to an underwater substrate with a distinct tuft of threads used for respiration. Adult simulium nacojapi are typically found near these aquatic breeding sites. Their search entails scanning for small, dark-colored flies in areas of high humidity and lower elevation, often in close proximity to streams or rivers where they have emerged.

How and Where Can You Find Simulium nacojapi at Different Life Stages
Larva Look for simulium nacojapi larvae in flowing water, such as streams or rivers, by searching for them on submerged rocks, vegetation, or other objects in the water.
Pupal To find simulium nacojapi pupae, inspect the same water environments as larvae. Pupae are typically found attached to objects near the surface of the water.
Adult Simulium nacojapi adults are often found near water sources where they breed. Search for them by setting up traps with attractants like CO2 or by wearing dark clothing and waiting for them to approach for a blood meal.
