Abstract
The Pergidae family are insects with complete development, so they go through the egg, larva (in several stages), pupa (to undergo metamorphosis) and adult (the winged insect, ready to reproduce) phase. The developed larvae, as we received in the photo, are black in color and measure about 2.5 cm in length. They appear between June and September in groups, walking in the pasture, a habit that suggests the ability to seek more food and protection against predators. This mini-review aimed to inventory aspects of the biology of the Pergidae Family such as life cycle, mating behavior, damage in agriculture, poisoning in animals, thanatosis and management. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy. The articles were published in indexed scientific research, book scientific chapters, theses banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents and the academic and scientific journals available online ResearchGate, HAL SSRN, Scielo, Biological abstract, Qeios and Academia.edu.
