“…The family Pentatomidae comprises important predators responsible for the biological control of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera larvae (Soares et al 2009;De Carvalho et al 2020;Pires et al 2020;Cornelius et al 2021). However, phytophagous species of this order are pests of wild and cultivated plants (Soares et al 2022). Podisus is the most diverse genus in the Pentatomidae, with species distributed in the Neotropical and Nearctic regions (Brugnera et al 2020;Oliveira-Júnior et al 2021;Roell 2021).…”

The improvement of techniques for the mass rearing of predators in the laboratory, including the age of mating is important to obtain the largest number of individuals for biological control programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the females’ fecundity of the predator Podisus fuscescens (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) with different pre-mating periods. The females of this predator were mated immediately after emergence (T1) or with one (T2), two (T3), three (T4), four (T5) or five (T6) days after emergence. The females mated immediately and one day after the emergency (T1 and T2) had fewer egg clusters than those mated after five days (T6). The number of nymphs per female was lower for those mated immediately after the emergence (T1) and with one (T2) or two days (T3). The total number of eggs was lower in females mated one day after emergence (T2) than for those mated after five days (T6). The proportion of hatched eggs was lower in the treatments T1 and T2 than in the T6. The oviposition and longevity of P. fuscescens females were similar between treatments; however, the pre-oviposition period longer in the T1 than T5 and T6. The pos-oviposition period was longer in the T1. Podisus fuscescens females require five days after emergence to mature their reproductive system, which improves their fitness and avoids unnecessary mating.

“…An important and exclusive type of vegetation that covers the mountains of this region includes the rupestrian fields. It is formed by shrubby vegetation, prone to fire, along with patches of cerrado and forests (Silveira et al, 2016) and with rock fields and mountain pastures, that remains constant in Diamantina (Soares et al, 2021). The local climate is classified as Cwb based on the Köppen classification system, which is characterized by subtropical dry winter plateaus and rainy summers.…”
