Brown lycte infestation: description?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lifecycle of the brown lycte?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The brown lycte is a holometabolic <\/strong>invertebrate (insects that have complete metamorphoses and whose adult form is always preceded by a motionless nymphal stage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From egg to larva<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After mating, the female lays 20 to 50 eggs in the wood fibres. Within 2 weeks, the larvae emerge from the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duration of larval development varies depending on the environmental conditions. Ideally, the place is well heated (between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius) and the humidity is high (between 40% and 60%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The larva is recognizable by its cream colour. She’s got three pairs of legs. It can measure up to 6mm long depending on the species. She’s a little bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From nymph to adult<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is xylophagous, that is, it feeds on wood (the essence of the vein). It takes him two to four weeks to turn into a nymph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once adult, the male of the brown lycte has a longevity of about 2 months, while that of the female is 4 months. Some species can go up to a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
