Abstract
Phloem sandwich and bark-wood slab media were compared as techniques for accurate observation and measurement of immature Hylobius pales (Herbst) development. Development was significantly slower in bark-wood slabs in the initial test This was probably due to higher phloem moisture content of this medium. After media use and handling skills had improved, overall development time was virtually the same in both media Phloem sandwiches were considered better for observing development of H. pales immatures because they permitted easy observation, were substantially cheaper to use, and provided results which were similar to those from bark-wood slabs.
