About Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860)
Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) is a species of squash bug in the subfamily Coreinae. This species is found in Japan and Southeastern Russia. After overwintering, adult females mate multiple times between May and August. Females lay a total of 21 to 36 eggs across multiple separate oviposition events. Eggs are laid on both host plants from the families Rosaceae and Asteraceae, where nymphs can feed, and on other non-plant substrates such as the ground. Depending on air temperature, eggs develop into full adults over a period of 80 to 117 days, progressing through five nymphal instar stages during development.
