How Long Do Western Conifer Seed Bugs Live
Each year, a single generation of western conifer seed bugs is born. Adults lay their eggs between mid-June and early August. After approximately two weeks, nymphs emerge from eggs and require approximately five weeks to develop into adults. At the end of summer, the previous generation passes away, and the new adults begin searching for a warm place to spend the winter.
