“…The variation observed on fecundity and oviposition duration may be directly related to the nutritional input offered by their diet. This has been demonstrated by Santos et al (2009), observing a change in duration of egg, larva and pupa stages and survival of H. axyridis when raised on A. kuehniella eggs and the aphid S. graminum. The direct influence of diet on the daily fecundity of the species was also demonstrated by Rivero et al (2005) while testing different proportions between artificial and natural food for O. v-nigrum.…”

“…In contrast, there were significant differences on the viability of the larval stage (F=8.29, df=2,10, P=0.0075), O. v-nigrum had the highest viability (greater than 80%), while E. connexa and H. axyridis had similar larval viabilities (≈65%). The survival of H. axyridis (larval period) was greater than 70% when fed on eggs and S. graminum + A. kuehniella eggs (Santos et al, 2009). Studying different diets and time to freeze eggs of A. kuehniella offered as food for to E. connexa, Silva et al (2009) observed that larval viability of predators was above 75% when food was diet + A. kuehniella eggs frozen for 24 hours.…”

“…Adults were produced with all tested diets; however, there was variability in relation to viability and duration of stages and in adult weight. The best development occurred when fed with A. kuehniella eggs (Bonte et al, 2010) For other coccinellids, variations in biological parameters also was observed when the energy provided by prey is changed, as shown by Bado and Rodriguez (1997) when various species of aphid was used to feed Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant), or even to Santos et al (2009) which observed reproductive performance of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) when to fed with aphids and moth eggs.…”

The coccinellids Eriopis connexa (Germar), Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) and Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant) are important natural biological control agents. The purpose of this paper was to study the biology and create a fertility life table of these three coccinellid species. For the biology study, 50 insects/species were used and kept in groups of 10 in glass vials (2300cm 3 ). For the three species studied, the viability of the total cycle varied from 45 to 50%. O. v-nigrum was the species which presented the longest oviposition period. However, H. axiridis demonstrated the best reproductive performance and ability of population growth in each generation. In conclusion, the use of commercially obtained pollen and A. kuenhiella eggs enables the development of coccinellids E. connexa, H. axyridis and O. v-nigrum under laboratory conditions, since the insects completed their biological cycle and originated adults with good reproductive performance.

“…It has been repeatedly demonstrated that maturation and fecundity of females of predatory coccinellids markedly depends on the diet (Hodek and Honě k 1996;Evans 2000;Abdel-Salam and Abdel-Baky 2001;Soares et al 2004Soares et al , 2005Osawa 2005;Berkvens et al 2008a,b;Sighinolfi et al 2008;Santos et al 2009;Omkar et al 2010;Agarwala and Bhowmik 2011;Stathas et al 2011). All potential prey and other types of food can be separated in two groups: (i) 'essential' or 'nursery' foods that stimulate oogenesis and oviposition in females (and also support normal growth and development of the progeny) and (ii) 'alternative' or 'supplementary' foods that can only ensure relatively long-term survival of adult predators (Hodek and Honě k 1996;Dixon 2000).…”

The effects of photoperiodic conditions of larval development and adult maturation (L : D = 12 : 12 vs. 18 : 6) and different diets (sugar solution, frozen eggs of Sitotroga cerealella, different numbers of aphids Myzus persicae, and their combinations) on survival, reproductive maturation and fecundity of Harmonia axyridis were studied in laboratory conditions. The fundamental aim of the work was to distinguish between cue effect of diet (neurohormonal triggering of reproduction) and direct effect of diet (nutritional maintenance of reproduction). When adults were kept under short‐day conditions, the proportion of ovipositing females decreased and the duration of the pre‐oviposition period increased. Moreover, a strong reaction to the direction of changes in the day length was demonstrated: when larvae and pupae developed at long day and adults were transferred to short day, the proportion of ovipositing females was much lower than in individuals that were permanently kept under short‐day conditions. The percentage of ovipositing females, the rate of their reproductive maturation and the average daily fecundity gradually increased in the following succession of diets: ‘sugar + 5 aphids per day < sugar + eggs < sugar + eggs + 5 aphids per day < sugar + 100 aphids per day’. However, dissection showed that most of the non‐laying females fed on these diets (particularly those kept under long‐day conditions) have started reproductive maturation, while even first stages of oogenesis were not found in females fed on sugar solution alone. We conclude that cue effect of diet (reproductive activation) can be achieved almost independently of the number of prey consumed, while nutritional effects (the rate of reproductive maturation and fecundity) are sensitive both to the quality and quantity of food.

“…Lepidopteran eggs, particularly those of the Mediterranean flour moth Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) have been extensively used as factitious food for rearing Coccinellidae in place of natural prey (Kato et al, 1999;Santos et al, 2009;Silva et al, 2013;Zazycki et al, 2015;Castro-Guedes et al, 2016). Moreover, A. kuehniella eggs can be produced easily and at low cost, making this prey propitious for rearing Coccinellidae (Specty et al, 2003;De Clercq et al, 2005;Silva et al, 2009).…”

Alternative food sources for the ladybird Brumoides foudrasii (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

The predator Brumoides foudrasii (Mulsant) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) has been naturally found in plants infested by mealybugs. In this study, the striped mealybug Ferrisia dasylirii (Cockerell) (Hemiptera, Pseudococcidae) and Anagasta kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) eggs were evaluated as diets for the development and reproduction of B. foudrasii. Brumoides foudrasii immatures developed faster when fed with A. kuehniella eggs than when fed with F. dasylirii. However, the survival and longevity of B. foudrasii adults were not affected by the diets. Oviposition was more frequent when B. foudrasii females were fed with F. dasylirii (95%) than those fed with A. kuehniella eggs (65%). Brumoides foudrasii females fed with F. dasylirii were 2.5 times more fecund than those fed with A. kuehniella eggs. Although both diets may be considered proper for B. foudrasii, A. kuehniella eggs were more suitable for immature development, while F. darsyrili provided more nutritious resources for adult biological parameters as oviposition period, egg viability and fecundity. These results suggests that this predator can play an important role in regulating populations of the stripped mealybug F. dasylirii in the field.Keywords: coccinellids, biological control, essential food, diet, laboratorial rearing.
