“…2). The longevity when reared on E. kuehniella eggs in our study was greater than that when reared on T. palmi (12.3 days) and T. kanzawai (11.1 days) 20 , indicating that E. kuehniella eggs are more suitable than T. palmi as a natural diet of the predator species.…”

“…putrescentiae W. rotunda: Adults and nymphs collected from eggplants infested with T. palmi in Prachin Buri, Kamphaengsaen, and Suphan Buri, Thailand, in 1995 were used to initiate a laboratory colony for our study and other studies 15,17,20,21 . The W. rotunda colony was reared through several generations on potted eggplants infested with T. palmi in a thermostatic incubator at 25°C ± 1°C and 16L8D without controlled RH.…”

Suitable Food of W. rotunda grown in greenhouses. However, the use of O. strigicollis as a control agent against thrips is difficult because the reproduction of this predator is reduced under the low temperature and short-day conditions in winter, even when released in heated greenhouses 19. Therefore, nondiapausing natural enemies from tropical or subtropical regions should be used to extend the biological control of T. palmi to greenhouses in Japan during winter. The possibility of such use had already been suggested 4,11,14 when the use of O. strigicollis as a biological control agent against T. palmi in Japanese greenhouses was initiated. In different parts of Thailand (Chiang Mai, Suphan Buri, Nakhon Pathom, and Bangkok), Wollastoniella rotunda Yasunaga et Miyamoto (initially recorded as Bilia JARQ 47 (2), 185-190 (2013) http://www.jircas.affrc.go.jp
