Biology

Sunny, dry as well as humid habitats are inhabited, such as forest edges or isolated bushes.

The bugs live mainly on common hazel (Corylus avellana), more rarely on other deciduous shrubs such as willow ( Salix), alder ( Alnus), honeysuckle (Lonicera), oak (Quercus ) or linden (Tilia ), occasionally Rubus species. They are zoophytophagous and suck both plant sap, as well as on mites, for example . The adult bugs can be observed from mid / late July to late September. The species has one generation per year.[5]

gollark: You have to remember that you're limited in hatchlings and they *always* take 3 days to grow up.
gollark: I mean, at the platinum trophy level I think you can raise a bit over 8 per 6 days.
gollark: There are so many of them, it's crazy.
