Abstract

Sycanus indagator Stal eggs held at 72-78@*F hatched 18 days after being laid and nymphal development averaged 82 days. Starvation of newly hatched nymphs for 8 days and adults for 21 days resulted in death or no egg production. Nymphs fed on several insect species, but cannibalism was uncommon. Larvae of Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) were quickly paralyzed after beak penetration by the nymphal or adult predator.
