We collected colonies of Daulocoris formosanus from nests of the subsocial wood‐feeding cockroach Salganea taiwanensis ryukyuanus for the first time. To understand the ecology of D. formosanus , we observed and characterized their behavior in a laboratory setting. We provide the first detailed record of the habitat, colony structure and feeding behavior of D. formosanus .
