Host plants include deciduous and coniferous woody plants, as well as herbaceous plants (including some weeds); most damage is recorded on trees and bushes. In forests, &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; is primarily a pest of deciduous trees, but coniferous species are also attacked when population density is high (Natural Resources Canada, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). The host species with the most significant damage differs depending on areas, &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; subspecies and years. The EPPO PRA distinguished between main hosts and other hosts, and details can be found in EPPO (&lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Females of &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; lay up to 500 eggs in a froth-covered egg mass on the surface of or near their empty pupal cocoons (Belton, &lt;span&gt;1988&lt;/span&gt;; Isaacs &amp; van Timmeren, &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;; Schowalter, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Webster, &lt;span&gt;1916&lt;/span&gt;; Wilson, &lt;span&gt;1991&lt;/span&gt;). &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; generally overwinters in the egg stage, although in some locations larvae, pupae or adults may be present during the winter (Ferguson, &lt;span&gt;1978&lt;/span&gt;; Webster, &lt;span&gt;1916&lt;/span&gt;). The period of larval emergence depends on location (e.g., latitude, climatic conditions) (Isaacs &amp; van Timmeren, &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;) and is typically closely timed to match the availability of new host plant foliage (EPPO, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). First instar larvae disperse throughout the host plant, often by spinning down on long silk threads and floating on air currents (‘ballooning’) (Thurston, &lt;span&gt;2002&lt;/span&gt;). Such ‘ballooning’ is also the main means of natural dispersal of the species (Embree et al., &lt;span&gt;1984&lt;/span&gt;; Thurston &amp; MacGregor, &lt;span&gt;2003&lt;/span&gt;). ‘Ballooning’ distances of &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; are not known, but most larvae of the related species &lt;i&gt;O. pseudotsugata&lt;/i&gt; generally do not disperse more than 200 m (EPPO, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) by this means. Larvae of &lt;i&gt;O. leucostigma&lt;/i&gt; feed on the surface of leaves and the larval stage lasts 5–6 weeks (Schowalter, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). The last instar larvae spin nymphal cocoons mostly on host plants (such as on branches or stems) but in abundant populations these are formed on other materials such as fences, houses, logs (Baker, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Embree et al., &lt;span&gt;1984&lt;/span&gt;; Thurston, &lt;span&gt;2002&lt;/span&gt;; Wilson, &lt;span&gt;1991&lt;/span&gt;).

The application of grapevine cane extract ranging from 2.5 g/L (1.25 kg/ha) to 15 g/L (7.5 kg/ha) on cider-apple trees significantly protected apple shoots and fruits from scab disease, regardless of application time at low or high Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) levels. Its efficacy was comparable to commonly used fungicides under moderate pathogen pressure in 2018 and 2019. Under a high pathogen pressure in 2020, its effect was lower than that of the commonly used fungicides while still providing protection against disease.
