Reproduction Comments
From Stewart and Anderson (2009):<br>Life cycle is semivoltine; adult emergence is from late March to late July, with a peak from May 1 to June 15 in Oregon. Recruitment of a new cohort of nymphs before early emergence indicated an egg diapause for at least much of the first year. Growth of nymphs was slow through the warm, dry summer, accelerated in fall beginning about September, and rapid from december until emergence.
