Picromerus bidens are found in hardwood forests, mixed forests, parks and gardens, where they prefer wet areas. The females lay their eggs in late summer or early autumn on the upper surface of plant leaves. The eggs overwinter there. The larvae hatch in the spring. They develop in 5 stages, each finishing with a moult. In summer, the adult bugs of the new generation appear. These feed on caterpillars, beetle larvae, other bugs or aphids.
