Forests and Woodlands, Rotting and Decaying Matter

Forests and Woodlands, Agricultural and Cultivated Areas

The nymph stage of megymenum brevicorne might be attracted to particular plants or decaying material they feed on, while adults might be more attracted to sugars or mating pheromones.

The eggs of megymenum brevicorne are typically found on the underside of leaves or on stems of host plants. As nymphs, they are often seen on the foliage, where they feed and grow. The nymphs seek out areas with ample food supply, usually on the same plants where they were hatched. Adult megymenum brevicorne can be spotted on or near host plants as well, but they are more mobile and can be found on various parts of the plant depending on food availability and mating opportunities. If one is searching for these different stages, careful examination of the host plants in their natural habitats, such as woodlands or grasslands, is necessary, focusing on the underside of leaves, stems, and on foliage for eggs and nymphs, and on a wider area for the adults.

The suitable time to find megymenum brevicorne would likely be during the warmer months when they are more active, and perhaps during the day when they may be seen feeding or at rest.

Calmer weather conditions without rain, when temperatures are moderate to warm, would be ideal for locating megymenum brevicorne, as extreme conditions could force them into hiding.
