Distribution
editThis species is present in Japan and Southeastern Russia.[1][2]
Reproduction
editAfter overwintering, female adults copulate multiple times from May thru August, laying between 21 and 36 eggs over multiple oviposition events. Eggs are laid both on host plants in the families Rosaceae and Asteraceae (on which nymphs can feed) and on other substrates, such as the ground.[3] Eggs develop into adults over a timespan of 80 to 117 days depending on air temperature, passing through five instars.[4]
Agricultural Impact
editIn Southeast Russia, M. fuliginosa can damage red raspberry crops through feeding on the sap and fruit of these plants.[2]
