Biology of anthocorid predator, Blaptostethus pallescens Poppius (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)

View through CrossRef
Biology of anthocorid predator Blaptostethus pallescens Poppius was studied on eggs of alternate host Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton). Eggs of B. pallescens, thrust within the plant tissue, hatched after a mean incubation period of 5.78 days. Nymphs, when reared on UV sterilized eggs of C. cephalonica under ambient conditions, developed normally with five instars, each having a mean duration of 2.63, 1.92, 2.01, 2.50 and 5.10 days, respectively. Females laid eggs after a pre-oviposition period of 4.2 days. Average fecundity of bugs was 134.04 eggs. Mean longevity of females was found to be higher (52.03 days) than that of males (40.18 days).
