Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study recorded the choice of dry plant of Conyza spp as oviposition site by cicada Quesada gigas (Olivier, 1790). We presented issues of natural history of the cicadas that indicate the inability of immatures to complete life cycle in this species of plant. Some implications on cultures where Q. gigas has economic importance are also discussed.RESUMO: Registra-se a escolha de plantas secas de Conyza spp como local de oviposição pela cigarra Quesada gigas (Olivier, 1790).
