Habitat
T. gigas is often found in Prosopis or Acacia Trees.[4]
Behavior
T. gigas is diurnal, and thus mostly active during the day.[5]
Development
Unlike insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, hemimetabolous insects like T. gigas do not have a pupal stage. Instead, the nymph stage resembles the adult stage, but without wings or functional reproductive organs.[6]
