In the nymph stage 42 days was required for nymphs that become adults within the year and 211 days for nymphs that hibernate. Duration for adults was 31.4 days for adults that die within the year and 139 days for adults that hibernate in the prefeeding period, 106 days for adults that hibernate in the post-feeding period. Generations are repeated twice a year for adults that hibernate, once a year for nymphs that hibernate. (Author)
