The life cycle of Cholula maculatus associated with several species of Ficus is reported in detail, descriptions and illustrations of all instars are included. This species is considered as an arboreal species according to the Slater (1972) classification for the species of Lygaeidae associated with Ficus spp. and because it feeds on Ficus seeds that are included in mammal and bird excrements, C. maculatus should be included in a new subcategory.
