Life history

First instar larvae parasitise Psyllidae species. In some species early ecdyses occur in silk shelters spun on the body of the leafhopper host. It is probable that the life history is similar to that of Cyclotorna monocentra.

gollark: Anyway, PotatOS for x86 would also ship with emulated peripherals if I can somehow make that work, for things like modems (would be translated into multicast UDP packets or something), speakers (probably not with the actual MC sound library), and disk drives.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Oh yes, you should responsibly disclose those || 🐝.
gollark: It could probably just be Alpine + Java + Xorg + CCEmuX + a local websocket server for system administration from CC.
gollark: PotatOS for x86 via minimal Linux is planned.
