春季，在弗吉尼亚州的Pittsylvania Co.发现成年甲虫（Epitrix parvula）以13个寄主为食；在生长季节，它们主要发生在烟草上；在夏末秋初记录了52种寄主植物。茄科植物是最重要的寄主，在所有茄科植物上都饲养了e.p.，但在其他10科的16种植物上没有饲养e.p.。这种甲虫最容易在烟草、土豆和曼陀罗上生长。床上种植的烟草和田间种植的马铃薯在春季烟草种植前对附近田地的蚤甲虫种群的形成起着重要作用。
In the spring, adult beetles (Epitrix parvula) were found feeding on 13 hosts in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia; during the growing season, they occurred principally on tobacco; and in the late summer and early fall 52 host plants were recorded. Solanaceous plants were the most important hosts, and E. p. was reared on all the Solanaceous plants tested, but not on 16 spp. of plants representing 10 other families. The beetles developed most readily on tobacco, potato, and Datura stramonium. Tobacco plants in the bed and potato in the field were important in building up the flea-beetle population in nearby fields in the spring before the tobacco plants were set in the field.
