Adults and young eat other insects, small crustaceans such as crabs and crayfish, tadpoles, frogs, snails and small fish.

kirungi okumanya

Ebituufu

It breathes air trapped under its wings, using two snorkel-like tubes at the back of its abdomen.1

Several bugs may hunt together and share the same prey.1

Few young survive to adulthood, because adults eat other nymphs and other predators also hunt them.1

It can be attracted to electric lights while flying at night, which gives it the name electric light bug.1

Adults survive winter by burrowing under mud and leaf litter.1

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: It is a 'toe biter' that goes looking for people to bite.

Amazima: It prefers to avoid humans. It bites mainly when it is handled or disturbed.1
