Biology
Myzia oblongoguttata occurs only in coniferous and mixed forests (Sarmatic mixed forests) and in birch forest, birch taiga and montane Birch forest and grasslands and coastal conifer forests . Adults are found on Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Picea obovata, and Betula pendula, most frequently when they are producing pollen. They feed on aphids.Koch, K., Die Käfer Mitteleuropas, Ökologie. Vol. 2 (Goecke und Evers Verlag, Krefeld, 1989). The beetles overwinter under peeled-off bark and in coniferous litter. The adults occur from spring to late summer. The new generation usually emerges in AugustBurakowski, B., Mroczkowski, M., and Stefańska, J., Katalog Fauny Polski. Szęść XXIII, Chrząszcze– Coleoptera. Tom 13.
