Thrips, also referred to as thunder bugs, are a type of flying insect in which feeds on several types of animals and plants. Generally, these insects will live for a few months to a few years and are often referred to as pests.
The lifecycle of the thorn bug, a type of treehopper, consists of several stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Female thorn bugs lay their eggs on plant stems, often covered with a protective secretion. After hatching, nymphs emerge and go through several molts, gradually resembling adults but lacking wings. Once fully mature, the adult thorn bugs develop wings and can reproduce, continuing the cycle.
The life span of a thorn bug, which belongs to the family Membracidae, typically ranges from several months to a year, depending on environmental conditions and availability of food. These insects undergo incomplete metamorphosis, progressing through egg, nymph, and adult stages. Factors such as predation, habitat, and climate can significantly influence their longevity.
A thorn bug can lay approximately 20 to 50 eggs during its reproductive cycle. The eggs are usually deposited in clusters on the host plant, where they are protected by a waxy coating. The number can vary depending on environmental conditions and the specific species of thorn bug.

Thorn bugs, which belong to the family Membracidae, have several natural predators, including various birds, wasps, and spiders. Certain species of ants may also prey on thorn bug nymphs. Additionally, parasitoid insects, such as some types of flies and wasps, can lay their eggs within or on thorn bugs, ultimately leading to the host's demise. These predators play a crucial role in controlling thorn bug populations in their ecosystems.
Once the female thorn bug lays her eggs, it takes about 20 days for them to hatch. Once hatched, thorn bugs only live for a few months. The actual name for a thorn bug is a treehopper.
It is called a nymph, and instar refers to the size.
