Abstract

Egg and nymphal developmental time for Orius insidiosus (Say) were measured at 4 constant temperatures: 20, 24, 28, and 32°C. The developmental times of each stage as well as total developmental time were measured. Temperature significantly affected both egg and nymphal development. The duration of egg development decreased significantly with each increase in temperature. Total nymphal developmental time decreased significantly with increases between the temperatures of 20, 24, and 28°C, but did not differ significantly between 28 and 32°C.
