Abstract
Larvae of Neodiprion swainei Midd. were reared to the adult stage under temperatures of 15, 22 and 30°C and photoperiods of ( L D ): 10 14 , 12 12 , 14 10 , 16 8 , 18 6 hr . Diapause was prevented when the larvae were subjected to a long photoperiod. The higher the temperature the greater the number of individuals not entering diapause at a long photoperiod. A varying percentage of individuals may enter a short diapause similar to a summer diapause. Some cocooned larvae may also stay in prolonged diapause for an undetermined period, regardless of temperature-photoperiod conditions.
