Background Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is a destructive insect pest of cotton
crops in China and globally, which is actively predated on by Orius strigicollis. Studies on
the fitness or survival of O. strigicollis fed on P. gossypiella at different temperatures have not
been reported. The fitness of O. strigicollis may be well explained using two-sex life table
parameters. Thus, the present study provides important insights for the effective biocontrol of
P. gossypiella.
