Red cotton bug lay its egg in Soil.
Eggs are laid in the soil near the plants. Lays round eggs on the apical portion of the undersurface of leaves in clusters of 13 - 42 eggs. Larvae emerge from eggs after 3 - 6 days.
Feed on leaves for 16 - 20 days. Adults emerge within 15 - 20 days. The incubation period is 7 days and nymphs become adults in 49 - 90 days. Nymphs and adults suck the sap from tender parts of plants like leaves, petioles and shoots in early stages.
