The larvae are long or spindle-shaped, with red, black, white, yellow, and other stripes or patches on its body. There are spiny tumors on both sides of the body. Adults overwinter in sunny cracks, stone crevices and rhizospheres of weeds on slopes. It has a certain inhibitory effect on the occurrence of aphids.

When it encounters a strong enemy and feels in danger, it will immediately fall to the ground from the tree, shrink its three pairs of thin legs, and remain motionless as if "lost consciousness". It will pretend to be dead and lie down. Hidden from the enemy.
