“…Orius insidiosus (Say) can be reared on an artificial diet devoid of insect components, but oviposition rate and egg production of reared females have been poor (Ferkovich and Shapiro 2004a). In attempts to improve nutritional quality, this artificial diet (based on soy protein acid hydrolysate and chicken egg yolk) was supplemented with cells from an embryonic cell line, IPLB-PiE, of the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), Pyralidae).…”

The primary peer-reviewed literature pertaining to rearing of predatory beetles, true bugs, and lacewings was reviewed and synthesized. This study focused on the literature published from 1998 to 2007. Advances in rearing were revealed in relation to the influence of factitious prey and artificial diets on predator life parameters. Eggs of the Angoumois grain moth and Mediterranean flour moth were factitious prey that supported the development and reproduction of many species in lieu of natural prey. Artificial diets based on vertebrate protein were generally inferior to factitious prey for production of predators. A few exceptional cases demonstrated potential for continuous rearing of true bugs and lacewings on artificial diet, as a stand-alone food source. Factors that could ensure progressive rearing success might involve (1) exploiting the highly polyphagous nature of certain species, (2) exposing predators to artificial diet for multiple generations to incite adaptation, (3) formulating artificial diets to match the texture and chemical composition of preferred natural prey, and (4) encasing the diet within Parafilm Ò to resemble the shape of natural prey. Encasement may also reduce desiccation and retard spoilage of the diet. Identification of other factitious prey and development of artificial diets that ensure production of predators of high quality should be possible. This review was conducted, for the most part, in support of generalist insect predators used, or having the potential to be used, in augmentative biological control of pests on plants in semi-closed systems, such as greenhouses and interiorscapes.

“…For instance, many artificial media for egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma contain lepidopteran pupal hemolymph and/or pupal holotissues to stimulate egg laying by the parasitoid females or to provide adequate nutrition for development of the larvae (e.g., Liu et al 1979;Strand and Vinson 1985;Nettles 1990;Lü et al 2012). Also, the fecundity of the predatory anthocorid Orius insidiosus (Say) was significantly increased when the bugs were fed on an artificial diet supplemented with a cell line derived from eggs of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella Hübner (Ferkovich and Shapiro 2004). Conceivably, insect materials like hemolymph could also be useful to supply nutritional factors for growth and reproduction of predatory mites such as A. swirskii.…”

Development, survival and reproduction of the predatorymite Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were assessed when fed on cattail pollen (Typha latifolia L.), dried fruit mite (Carpoglyphus lactis L.), or on two artificial diets. The basic artificial diet (AD1) was composed of honey, sucrose, tryptone, yeast extract, and egg yolk. This diet was enriched (AD2) by adding hemolymph from oak silkworm pupae (Antheraea pernyi (Guerin-Meneville)). Mites fed on C. lactis and AD2 had shorter immature and preoviposition periods than those fed on the other diets. The total number of deposited eggs was significantly higher for females fed on AD2 than for those maintained on the other diets. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) of A. swirskii was highest on AD2 and C. lactis, followed by T. latifolia pollen, and AD1. In conclusion, the artificial diet AD2 supported development and reproduction of A. swirskii to the same extent as a factitious prey which is routinely used in the mass rearing of the phytoseiid. Our findings indicate the potential of artificial diets for the mass production of this economically important predatory mite

“…De Clercq et al [43] demonstrated the stretched Parafilm-made artificial diet that was cylindrical in shape could increase the successful rearing of the spined solider bug Podisus maculiventris . Three alternative gelling agents (carrageenan, trehalose and starch) showed a lower level of acceptance by O. insidiosus , although the level of thickening achieved was only one-third that of the general gelling agent agarophyte [44]. Previous work demonstrated the AMDs showed advantages in terms of being convenient to store and transport [45].…”

BackgroundThe flower bug Orius sauteri is an important polyphagous predator that is widely used for the biological control of mites and aphids. However, the optimal conditions for mass rearing of this insect are still unclear, thus limiting its application.MethodologyIn this study, we investigated the optimal ingredients of an artificial diet for raising O. sauteri using a microencapsulation technique. The ingredients included egg yolk (vitellus), whole-pupa homogenate of the Tussah silk moth (Antheraea paphia), honey, sucrose, rapeseed (Brassica napus) pollen and sinkaline. We tested 25 combinations of the above ingredients using an orthogonal experimental design. Using statistical analysis, we confirmed the main effect factors amongst the components, and selected five optimal combinations based on different biological and physiological characters.Principal FindingsThe results showed that, although different artificial diet formats significantly influenced the development and reproductive ability of O. sauteri, the complete development of O. sauteri to sexual maturity could only be achieved by optimizing the artificial diet according to specific biological characters. In general, pupae of A. paphia had more influence on O sauteri development than did artificial components. The results of a follow-up test of locomotory and respiratory capacity indicated that respiratory quotient, metabolic rate and average creeping speed were all influenced by different diets. Furthermore, the field evaluations of mating preference, predatory consumption and population dispersion also demonstrated the benefits that could be provided by optimal artificial diets.ConclusionsA microencapsulated artificial diet overcame many of the difficulties highlighted by previous studies on the mass rearing of O. sauteri. Optimization of the microencapsulated artificial diet directly increased the biological and physiological characters investigated. Successive physiological tests and field investigations were used to evaluate the outcome of different artificial diet combinations on the quality of the reared O. sauteri.
