What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

biology_ecology · Plazi

Natural history Species tend to be found at forest edges and gaps in the forest where the vegetation is more exposed. They are also found among shrubs and herbaceous plants (but not grasses). Nisitrus are observed to be generally diurnal, during which the males can be heard calling and individuals are found foraging in the vegetation. It seems as Nisitrus are mostly herbivorous, feeding on leaves, but also on flowers ( Tan et al. 2017 ). Nisitrus are also observed to congregate with one another on the same plant, sometimes making up of more than 20 individuals of both adults and nymphs. They can be considered a pest in some parts of Southeast Asia ( Willemse 2001 ).
