Apparently there are two generations of this species in one 

 season. The writer took specimens most frequently on the bark 

 of apple trees where both nymphs and adults fed on Psocids. 

 The species was also found on the bark of other trees and is 

 probably predaceous on most soft bodied insects living in such 

 situations.
