Biology
Myzia oblongoguttata occurs only in coniferous and mixed forests (Sarmatic mixed forests) and in birch forest, birch taiga and montane Birch forest and grasslands and coastal conifer forests . Adults are found on Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Picea obovata, and Betula pendula, most frequently when they are producing pollen. They feed on aphids.[5] The beetles overwinter under peeled-off bark and in coniferous litter. The adults occur from spring to late summer. The new generation usually emerges in August[6] This is a common species.
