Agrilus biguttatus prefers to reside in old oak trees of 30-40 cm in diameter [6] with an inner bark thickness of 10-13 mm. [9] While healthy trees can generally resist A. biguttatus infestations, female beetles tend to live in trees that are physiologically stressed, often as a result of drought conditions.
They can be grown with frequent application of weak fertilizer solution under bright light, high humidity, and year-round moderate temperatures in greenhouses, growth chambers, and laboratories. [11] During its sexual phase, this species develops underground and requires the presence of appropriate fungi.
