Agricultural areas and cultivated lands, particularly in the Fergana Valley of Central Asia. Specific habitat preferences beyond agricultural contexts are not documented.

Feeds on Oryza sativa (rice) and Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass).

• Oryza sativa - food plantConfirmed feeding host
• Lolium multiflorum - food plantConfirmed feeding host
• European wheat striate mosaic virus - vectorTransmitted with 31% efficiency; transovarial transmission occurs in 6-43% of progeny
• Festuca leaf streak virus - vectorCytorhabdovirus; viral particles localize in salivary glands, fat cells, and nerve tissues

Exhibits wing dimorphism with two distinct wing forms. Development includes nymphal stages; first and second instar nymphs can acquire European wheat striate mosaic virus through feeding on diseased plants. Transovarial transmission of virus to progeny has been documented.

Agricultural pest and virus vector. Transmits European wheat striate mosaic virus and Festuca leaf streak virus (genus Cytorhabdovirus). Virus acquisition can occur through feeding on diseased plants or transovarially from infected females.

Documented pest of cultivated plants in the Fergana Valley and other agricultural regions. Vector capability for economically significant plant viruses poses potential threat to cereal crops.
