Psyche 
[December 
were found in rotten wood chambers January through March. One 
hundred seventeen nymphs hatched ca. 4 June from a mass of eggs 
collected 31 March beneath a log. In late March, a late-instar nymph 
and a teneral adult were collected, while only exuviae were found 
under the logs in early April. In October, medium-sized nymphs were 
found beneath logs. These data suggest a univoltine cycle in which 
these insects overwinter as late-instar nymphs, emerge, and mate 
during March-July. Eggs deposited under logs hatch, and the 
nymphs develop during the summer and fall.
