Both the larvae and the adults suck the juice of different herbaceous plants, but also nectar of flowers (especially of Leucanthemum vulgare and Tanacetum vulgare). They are polyphagous, mainly feeding on juices of Ranunculus acris, Raphanus raphanistrum, Linaria vulgaris, Calluna vulgaris and of various Asteraceae species, but also on Aphididae species.

This genus is one of the problematic Mirid groups to identify so I probably have made some errors here.
