The species overwinters in an adult stage in leaf litter. From early June to the middle August eggs are laid on the upper side of leaves of and on the catkins of birch, where the nymphs feed in aggregation. They have also been found feeding on aspen, hazel, juniper, Quercus, Ilex, Vaccinium, Alnus, Fagus and Populus species. The new generation is complete by August. ⚘
