Life Cycle of Pissodes piceae
Egg The offspring of pissodes piceae begins as an egg, often whitish and oval-shaped. Protected by a hard shell, the egg keeps the developing larva safe until hatching.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva appears worm-like, lacking wings and adult structures. Pissodes piceae consumes food voraciously, increasing in size, which leads to periodic molting.
Pupal After the final larval molt, pissodes piceae forms a pupa. This stage is a period of reorganization; the tissues and organs transform into the adult body plan.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult pissodes piceae’s development is marked by functional wings and reproductive organs. The body is structured and hardened, and pissodes piceae is ready for reproduction.

Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Pissodes piceae Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of pissodes piceae are typically laid on the bark of conifer trees, particularly favoring species such as spruce. Larvae burrow into the phloem or inner bark for development, which is their favored development location. Pupation for pissodes piceae also occurs within the trees, often in a chamber in the inner bark or wood. To look for the larvae or pupae, one would investigate infested trees, peeling back the bark to locate these life stages. Mature pissodes piceae adults can be found on the bark or foliage of the host trees. When searching for adults, checking the trunk and branches of susceptible conifers would yield the best chance of observing these insects.

When is the Best Time to Observe Pissodes piceae

Forestry Pest

In both its adult and larval stages, pissodes piceae can incur mild to severe harm on coniferous forests. These pests burrow into the stems, weakening structural integrity and potentially causing tree death. Infestations lead to reduced timber value and may escalate to large-scale die-offs, affecting ecosystem balance and industry profits.
