“…Pyemotes tritici is one of the most studied species of this group. It has been reported to parasitize more than one hundred insect species of different orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera and Strepsiptera), as reported by Oliveira et al ( 2007 ). Wrensch and Bruce ( 1991 ) said that the intrinsic rate of increase of this species exceeded the growth rate of any potential arthropod pest, each female producing 200-350 offspring (Tomalski et al 1988 ;Hoschele and Tanigoshi 1993 ).…”
