Contents

Temnostethus gracilis lives on the bark of various deciduous trees, both those densely covered with lichens and mosses, and on those that are quite smooth, such as ( Fagus sylvatica ), common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) or aspens ( Populus tremula ). They are predatory on aphids, Psylloidea, Psocoptera and mites, but also on other small arthropods.
