Thanasimus dubius (F.) is an important predator of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, a major pest of pine forests in the southern United States. We examined the development of T. dubius in the field using emergence traps, and by sampling the bark of trees previously attacked by D. frontalis. Over a 2-year period, several distinct episodes of T. dubius emergence occurred in trees enclosed by emergence traps, and bark sampling of other trees uncovered many T. dubius immatures almost 2 years after attack by D. frontalis. These results indicate that T. dubius development may be significantly longer and more variable under natural conditions than previously thought, and suggest that some individuals may undergo a diapause.

The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, is native to pine forests of the southern United States. We describe here techniques for enhancing parasitoid efficacy by direct feeding of parasitoid adults. Our recent research suggests that feeding by female adult D. frontalis parasitoids is important for increased longevity (Mathews and Stephen 1997, 1999; Stephen et al. 1997), and we documented that, with parasitoid feeding, egg resorption decreases and development of new immature eggs increases (Hanano 1996). We suspect that food for D. frontalis parasitoids, in the form of nectar, pollen, or honeydew, is not always available in the forest. We are developing a commercial D. frontalis control strategy based on this assumption.
