Abstract EN
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three different prey species on some biological aspects of the minute pirate bug Orius albidipennis .
The third nymphal instar of two aphid species ; Aphis craccivora and Schizaphis graminum , and also the first instar larvae of Spodoptera litoralis were chosen as preys and offered to nymphs and adults of the predator O.
albidipennis under laboratory conditions of at 26 ± 1°C and 60 ± 5% RH.
Males lived shorter than females.
While, the shortest development period ( 12.00±0.35 days ) was achieved when predatory insect was fed 1 st instar larvae of S .
litoralis .
Feeding on S .
litoralis or S.
graminum shortened pre-oviposition period and prolonged the oviposition which resulted in a higher rate of fecundity.
S .
litoralis was the most suitable food source where it caused the highest rate of net reproduction ( 187.60 ±5.51 eggs / female ) .
Throughout the whole nymphal stage , a single O.
albidipennis is nymphal fed on total number of 243.40±14.90 S.
graminum , 211.90±12.95 A .
craccivora or 110.70±11.90 individuals of 1 st instar larvae of S .
litoralis .
The mean total number of prey individuals was, significantly, higher in case of S.
graminum than A .
craccivora.
These results should contribute to the development of mass rearing programs for biological control.
