Abstract
Several fruits, Irish potato tubers, and sweet potatoes were tested as possible hosts for rearing tea scale, Fiorinia theae Green (Homoptera: Diaspididae) in the laboratory. Tea scale developed on all hosts tested but survival was highest on butternut squash. The technique developed for rearing tea scale on butternut squash was used successfully in rearing twelve broods of this insect.
