“…adults by feeding them on a mixture of agar and honey after two days on an aphid diet. Michaud & Grant (2005) demonstrated that water availability can interact with non-aphid diets to affect larval survival, developmental rate and adult size in C. maculata, suggesting hydration can influence not only survival in the absence of food, but also the efficiency of food utilization. We did not include a "no water" treatment in these experiments on the assumption that desiccation would only accelerate mortality under conditions of high temperature and food deprivation, whether the insects diapaused or not.…”

“…Adult coccinellids experiencing dehydration are known to drink readily when free water is provided (Hagen, 1962;Michaud & Grant, 2005) and sometimes form large aggregations on beaches or the shores of lakes (Turnock & Turnock, 1979). A number of reports of adult coccinellids feeding on succulent plant parts have been interpreted as a form of drinking behavior (Hodek & Hon k, 1996) that may function in the rehydration of beetles emerging from hibernation.…”

“…Subsequently, larvae become desiccated and die. This has been observed in Coleomegilla maculate (Michaud and Grant 2005). Allen (1985) reported that ox liver is a nutritionally adequate diet for predator development but no eggs were laid.…”

“…According to Michaud and Grant (2005), the amount of available water in the food can affect the survival of ladybird larvae. Since it is difficult evaluate water content in both prey (eggs and mealybug nymphs) they were offered ad libitum, hence, it is possible that predators did not did not experience water limitation, which would explain the observed similarity in viability rates.…”
