Habitat Preferences of Mesosa myops Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of mesosa myops are typically found burrowed in the wood of deciduous trees, where they feed on the inner bark and create tunnels. Searches for larvae should focus on trunks and branches of weakened or recently dead trees. The adults, conversely, are commonly found on or around the outer bark of trees, often on leaves and branches basking in the sun for mating purposes. To find adults, one should closely examine the foliage and sunny spots on tree trunks during the warmer months of the year.

When is the Best Time to Observe Mesosa myops
The best time to find adult mesosa myops is during their active period, which is usually late spring to early summer, around dusk when they are most active.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Mesosa myops
Mesosa myops is more likely to be active in warm, humid weather, which is suitable for their flight and mating activities.

How and Where Can You Find Mesosa myops at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of mesosa myops bore into wood, so finding them involves searching for infested trees. Examine trees with exit holes or sawdust-like frass which indicates their presence. You might also hear a faint munching sound from larval activity.
Pupal Mesosa myops pupates within the wooden galleries created by the larvae. To find the pupae, carefully chisel away decayed wood from known infested trees being cautious not to harm the pupae.
Adult Adult mesosa myops can be spotted on the trunks and branches of trees, especially where there is sap flow which they are attracted to. They are also drawn to lights at night, so setting up a light trap can be an effective way to find them.

Hurt Plant

Mesosa myops larvae bore into stems and disrupt the flow of nutrients, while adults chew on leaves. All plants are at risk, often leading to wilted or dead branches, compromised structural integrity, and if extensive, plant death. The severity ranges from mild to severe based on the insect's population.
