Abstract

This article is the first to analyze the feeding habits of F. vicaria in natural habitats and laboratory conditions. F. vicaria has been found to change food preferences during the growing season. In spring, nymphs of younger instars feed on semi-digested food regurgitated by the female. In June–July, nymphs of older instar stages are active predators. In July, adults continue their predatory lifestyle. In August–September, they switch mainly to plant food. In October, while constructing overwintering nests and laying eggs, females do not feed. The obtained results provide a general view of the importance of F. vicaria in agrocenoses of the Russian Far East.
