Female adults began to lay eggs in late July, and the peak of laying eggs was in early and middle August. Most of the eggs were laid on branches 4 ~ 5 mm thick. In summer, they crowed loudly on trees. It was harmful to trees to suck tree juice with acupuncture mouthparts. Larvae lived in the soil and sucked tree root juice.
