Seasonal development of Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler) in Primorskii Territory, including the time of oviposition and development of all stages before the emergence of adults, was studied during a six-year monitoring in natural and seminatural conditions. Molipteryx fuliginosa has a univoltine seasonal type. Eggs are laid randomly on various substrates, including the ground. The duration of the embryonic stage ranges from 12 to 36 days, depending on the air temperature. The development of larvae after hatching until the emergence of adults lasts from 55 to 83 days. The duration of immature development from the moment of oviposition to the emergence of adult is 80 to 117 days. The optimal conditions and timing of the seasonal development of the bug in nature have been identi ed.
