Biology

S. quadripunctata is pyrophilic and can be extremely abundant in areas that have recently experienced wildfires. [6] The eggs of S. quadripunctata have a higher rate of survival in recently heat-sterilized soil, mainly due to reduced predation by other soil-dwelling invertebrates. [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pyrophile</span> Insect which relies on fire ecology

A pyrophile or pyrophilic/pyrophilous insect is an insect which has evolved to rely upon fire ecology for important parts of their life cycle. Pyrophiles usually occur alongside and co-evolve with pyrophytes, the plant analog of a pyrophilic insect - those plants which rely upon natural fires as part of their lifecycle.
