Alate males and apterous oviparae develop in mid-late summer, earlier in the year than in most species.

It does not host alternate.

This species seems to be widespread in Britain. Numbers increase continuously over the growing season of the host plant, and because of the gregarious nature of these insects large aggregations are common.

Rarely recorded in Leicestershire and Rutland.
