Their life cycle includes the egg, larva, pupa and adult stages and lasts, depending on weather conditions, between 70-120 days.
< br/>It is the main vector of the red ring disease (or “little leaf”) produced by the nematode Bursaphelenchus cocophilus.
After hatching, the larvae begin to feed on the host by boring into the bud and stems, being responsible for the main damage.
