The primary peer-reviewed literature pertaining to rearing of predatory beetles, true bugs,
and lacewings was reviewed and synthesized. This study focused on the literature …

The use of predatory Hemiptera (Pentatomidae: Asopinae) in agroecosystems has
increased considerably in the last decades. All Asopinae representatives are obligate …

We studied the ability of Tenebrio molitor L.(Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) to self-select
optimal ratios of two dietary components to approach nutritional balance and maximum …

Podisus nigrispinus feeds primarily on insect larvae. It has been reared and released in
Brazil to control lepidopterous larvae, particularly defoliators of Eucalyptus trees, but …

Because food proteins are crucial for insect survival, growth, and fecundity, enzymes
involved in their digestion have attracted the attention of fundamental entomologists …

The effect of permethrin on development of Supputius cincticeps (Stål)(Heteroptera:
Pentatomidae) was evaluated to determine if exposure to low doses of toxic agents can …

Life-table analysis yielded demographic parameter values that indicate that Tenebrio molitor
(L.) pupae are potentially more suitable factitious prey to mass-produce the predator …

Considering the importance of predatory Pentatomidae as biological control agents it is
necessary to optimize mass production facilities of these species. The objective of this …

The aim of this work was to study the feeding habits of the predator Brontocoris tabidus
(Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) analyzing the salivary gland complex (SGC). The SGC was …

An artificial diet comprised of pig liver and tuna fish but devoid of insect components was
developed for continuous rearing of the predator Arma chinensis Fallou. Our results …
