Common glider

Since common glider are predatory, they do not respond to traditional baiting methods used for other animals. However, attracting their prey such as small insects can sometimes indirectly lure common glider.

The eggs of common glider are laid in still or slow-flowing freshwater, often amongst aquatic vegetation. naiads of common glider are aquatic, residing in the benthic zones of ponds and marshes, where they use their camouflage to ambush prey. To search for naiads, one must carefully inspect the substrate and vegetation of such freshwater bodies. The mature common glider, post-metamorphosis, are strong fliers typically encountered in areas abundant with prey and suitable for mating, such as clearings and edges of woodlands close to water sources. To find the adults, search these areas during warm, sunny days when they are most active.

The best time to observe adult common glider is during warm and sunny days, typically late morning to afternoon when they are most active. For observing immature stages, timing may vary depending on the lifecycle stage.

Calm, warm, and sunny weather is ideal for finding adult common glider, as they prefer flying in these conditions. Avoid windy or rainy days, as common glider will be less active or seek shelter.
