the effect of host diet on developmental time, fecundity and life-table parameters of bracon hebetor (say) (hymenoptera: braconidae) against the mediterranean flour moth ephestia kuehniella (zeller) was studied in the laboratory condition at 26 ± 1 °c, 65 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16l:8d h. the diets used were rice, barley, corn and wheat flours. the developmental time (egg to...

Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) occurs in several countries of South America and its mass rearing is important for biological control programmes. This work evaluated biological aspects of E. connexa larva fed on eggs of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) frozen for one day, fresh eggs of Dia...

the calling behavior of virgin carob moth females, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller) (lep.: pyralidae) was evaluated under two different thermal regimes, cycling and constant temperatures under laboratory condition. the period of calling activity under cycling temperature was prolonged and the total period of calling activity of an individual female was increased. although moths maintained under ...
