雌性(xing)色彩與雄(xiong)性(xing)基本(ben)相同。下生(sheng)殖板較(jiao)短(duan),末(mo)端中(zhong)央(yang)有1個大缺刻。
成蟲(chong)(chong)出現時間(jian)較(jiao)早,4-5月可見。刀(dao)日(ri)春蜓(ting)一般(ban)以(yi)卵或(huo)稚蟲(chong)(chong)在水中越冬,少數(shu)種類成蟲(chong)(chong)也可冬眠。刀(dao)日(ri)春蜓(ting)屬(shu)不完全變(bian)態(tai)。生活史只經卵、稚蟲(chong)(chong)和(he)成蟲(chong)(chong)3個階段。各階段歷期長(chang)短不同種類間(jian)差異很大。卵經過5-230天孵化出包被在薄幾丁質膜鞘中的“預稚蟲(chong)(chong)”,經幾秒(miao)至數(shu)十分鐘后,脫去膜鞘進入第二(er)齡期,成為能自由(you)活動于(yu)水中的稚蟲(chong)(chong)俗稱水蠆。
刀(dao)日春蜓(ting)的(de)食物(wu)主要(yao)(yao)(yao)是蜉蝣稚(zhi)蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)、蚊類(lei)幼蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)或同類(lei)的(de)其他個體(ti),甚至蝌蚪及小魚。稚(zhi)蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)期(qi)要(yao)(yao)(yao)經(jing)9-15齡才(cai)能發育(yu)成熟。老熟稚(zhi)蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)爬(pa)出(chu)(chu)水(shui)面,結(jie)束了水(shui)中(zhong)生(sheng)活(huo),附著(zhu)在石頭、植物(wu)或其他物(wu)體(ti)上,脫去外殼進入成蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)期(qi)。剛出(chu)(chu)來的(de)成蟲(chong)(chong)(chong)身體(ti)柔軟,要(yao)(yao)(yao)經(jing)過數小時或幾晝夜(ye)時間(jian)硬化體(ti)殼,隨著(zhu)體(ti)液循環,翅(chi)芽伸張挺直,體(ti)色與斑紋也逐漸鮮明,這時刀(dao)日春蜓(ting)才(cai)有能力(li)飛(fei)離蛻皮處(chu),到廣闊天(tian)空中(zhong)翱翔。
交(jiao)尾:性(xing)成(cheng)熟的(de)雄(xiong)蟲(chong)在(zai)交(jiao)尾前,先使腹(fu)部(bu)向前彎曲,將第9腹(fu)節生殖孔(kong)(kong)移到(dao)第2、3腹(fu)節下(xia)面與交(jiao)合器的(de)次(ci)生陽(yang)莖(jing)(jing)對接,把(ba)精(jing)(jing)包(bao)(由(you)帶狀黏(nian)膜把(ba)精(jing)(jing)子包(bao)纏卷裹形(xing)成(cheng))通(tong)過陽(yang)莖(jing)(jing)貯存于陰囊(nang)內。在(zai)完成(cheng)精(jing)(jing)子轉移之后,雄(xiong)蟲(chong)即(ji)在(zai)空中追(zhui)逐雌蟲(chong),并用(yong)腹(fu)部(bu)末(mo)端(duan)(duan)的(de)肛(gang)附器握住雌蟲(chong)的(de)相(xiang)關部(bu)位,雌蟲(chong)用(yong)六足抱(bao)住雄(xiong)蟲(chong)的(de)腹(fu)部(bu),自動彎曲腹(fu)部(bu),把(ba)腹(fu)端(duan)(duan)生殖孔(kong)(kong)伸達雄(xiong)蟲(chong)第2節與次(ci)生陽(yang)莖(jing)(jing)對接起來,形(xing)成(cheng)個環狀串連(lian)。
產(chan)(chan)卵(luan):交尾結束后,雌蟲很快(kuai)產(chan)(chan)卵(luan)。卵(luan)產(chan)(chan)在植物體(ti)內或(huo)水中及其附近物體(ti)上。
刀日春蜓是有益于人類的(de)一(yi)類重(zhong)要的(de)天敵昆蟲和水(shui)質(zhi)環境的(de)指示昆蟲。
