The research aims to determine the prey abilily and preferences of Harmonia axyridisagainst Mizus persicae on citrus. The study was conducted at the screen house and EntomologyLaboratory of the Research Institute for Citrus and Sub-Tropical Fruits, in January-March 2016.The test for prey ability used the first larval stage of H. axyridis to imago for 30 individuals in eacharena. Data were analyzed by counting of M. persicae which eaten per day from each stage, i.e.larva instar, and H. axyridis imago, as well as the average prey during their life cycle. The resultsshowed that the highest prey of H. axyridis occurred in instar larvae 4, which reached 428.3% ofis body weight, with a number of preys 9.81 ± 1.01 head / day. Preferences of H. axyridis in instarslarvae 1,2, and 3 were instar nymphs 1 from M. persicae, and for H. axyridis the instar larvae 4and imago preferred of instar nymph 4. H. axyridis had a life cycle with a range of 6.6 -9.7 days.The duration of egg stage of the H. axyridis was 3 days, the larvae consisted of 4 instars, theduration of the stage for each instar was 2.4 days for instar 1 and 2; 5 days for instar 3; 12 daysfor instar 4, and 18.5 days for imago.Keywords: Prey, predator Harmonia axyridis, Mizus persicae, citrus

This chapter describes the taxonomy of Phoronida, a small group of exclusively marine invertebrates found in most of the world's oceans from the intertidal zone to about 400 metres depth. Phoronids are meroplanktonic with a planktonic larval stage usually less than 2 mm in length and a benthic adult whose length ranges from a few cm up to 50 cm. The chapter covers their life cycle, ecology, and general morphology. It includes a section that indicates the systematic placement of the taxon described within the tree of life, and lists the key marine representative illustrated in the chapter (usually to genus or family level). This section also provides information on the taxonomic authorities responsible for the classification adopted, recent changes which might have occurred, and lists relevant taxonomic sources.

The family of Chironomidae is a group of Diptera insects belonging to the suborder of Nematocera, commonly called “non-biting midges” in the adult stage and “bloodworms” in the larval stage. The Chironomidae are often the most abundant group of macroinvertebrates, in number of species and individuals, encountered in all aquatic environments of freshwater, brackish, terrestrial and even the sea. Likewise, Chironomidae occur in all the continents. The Chironomidae family is divided into 11 sub-families that have diffrent ecological statues. Despite the wealth of data on Chironomidae in the Holarctic region, other parts of the world are poorly studied and few guides to identifying Chironomidae have been produced. This chapter includes a theoretical synthesis on the Chironomidae, it deals with the Biology (life cycle and description of different stages), description of all subfamilies and the ecology of this important family of Diptera.

Diadiplosis multifila was recently discovered feeding on Planococcus citri eggs in vineyards in the semi-arid northeast region of Brazil. The objective of the present paper was to study the biology of D. multifila in P. citri under constant temperatures of 22, 25, 28, and 31 °C. We evaluated its embryonic stage, egg viability, development period, survival of larva and pupa, longevity, average number of eggs, and sex ratio. D. multifila completed its life cycle in all temperatures except for 31 °C. The length of the embryonic period ranged from 4 to 7 days. The larval stage was longer at a temperature of 22 °C (8.6 days) and shorter at 28 °C (6.4). The pupal stage exhibited durations of 12.9, 10.4, and 8.2 days for temperatures of 22, 25, and 28 °C, respectively. The average viability in the larval stage was 97% and 83% in the pupal stage. The total life cycle took 16.7 (28 °C), 20 (25 °C), and 27 (22 °C) days to complete. The adults lived for approximately 2 days and the females produced on average 34, 25, and 19 eggs at temperatures of 22, 25, and 28 °C, respectively. The sex ratio varied from 0.46 to 0.54.

Curculio Elephas

One of the insects that feeds on pedunculate oak acorns and reduces its seed yield is Curculio elephas Gyll. The study of Curculio elephas Gyll is necessary because of the severe damages caused by this insect and also owing to its insufficiently investigated biology. The research was conducted in the common oak seed orchard at Banov Brod, forest estate ?Sremska Mitrovica?, and in the entomological laboratory. The adults emerge from the soil chambers from mid July till the beginning of September. The presence of adults, as determined by crown fogging, ranged from the end of July till the beginning of September with the highest number in mid August. After emerging from the soil, females are already fertile with the developed eggs in the ovaries. They start egg laying after 1 to 8 days and they lay from one to seven eggs per day. Egg laying period lasts from 7 to 20 days. Fertility of C. elephas females ranges from 5 to 40 eggs, while their fecundity ranges from 19 to 45 eggs. At the end of the larval stage, larvae bore into the soil and stay there from one to three years. The species hibernates only in the larval stage. C. elephas has a one-year life cycle, while a minor part of the population has a two or three-year life cycle.

<p><em>Stenocranus pacificus </em>Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is destructive pest on corn plants in South Lampung and it has been reported to cause corn damages in North Sumatra. The  objective of this research was to study some aspects biology of <em>S. pacificus</em> on corn plants in screenhouse. The research was conducted by observing the biology of <em>S. pacificus</em> that was reared on corn plants in screenhouse.<em> </em>The results showed that life cycle of <em>S. pacificus </em>was 38–47 (41,60 ± 3,19) days: egg was 9–11 (10,20 ± 0,79) days, the first instar nymph was 3–4 (3,70 ± 0,48) days, the second instar nymph was 3–4 (3,90 ± 0,32) days, the third instar nymph was 3–4 (3,70 ± 0,48) days, the fourth instar nymph was 3–4 (3,80 ± 0,42) days, and the fifth instar nymph was 3–4 (3,60 ± 0,52) days. Age of female was 13–17 (15,30 ± 1,34) days. It was longer than age of male which was 8–12 (10,10 ± 1,20) days. Female could produce 181–214 (197,60 ± 11,64) eggs during its life. The sex ratio was 1:1,98.</p>

AbstractCollections of larvae over 1 year in the River Clinton in the White Mountains of southern Québec indicated that Palaeodipteron walkeri Ide is bivoltine and that there are five larval instars. In April, larvae were in their fourth and fifth instars. Adults emerging in May and June gave rise to a summer generation in which most individuals emerged in August and September. The offspring of these adults, together with stragglers from the summer generation, formed an overwintering generation. Overwintering was completed in the larval stage, mainly the third and fourth instars. There was some growth in winter and development increased in the spring. Our data were compared with previously published observations; although no discrepancy occurred, our interpretation was different. Previous schemes proposed for the life cycle in this species were based on few specimens and lacked winter observations.

Ten species of Tabanus, five of Chrysops, and one of Atylotus are recorded from the Churchill, Manitoba, area. Of these, Tabanus itasca Philip, Tabanus sp. (new?), and Atylotus ohioensis (Hine) represent new records. It is established that Tabanidae in this region overwinter in the larval stage and that most species have at least a three-year life cycle. Problems in taxonomy are discussed. Methods of rearing the immature stages, of collecting adults emerging in the field, of estimating larval and adult populations, and of correlating adult activity and weather conditions are described, and the results are presented. Larvae of the tipulid Prionocera dimidiata (Lw.) are reported as predators of larvae of Chrysops spp. The emergence of the chalcid parasite Diglochis occidentalis (Ashm.) from pupae of Tabanus and Chrysops spp. reared from the larval stage is recorded.

The overall life cycle, duration and survival rate of different developmental stages (egg, larva and pupa) of Catopsilia pyranthe conducted at 27 ± 3°C and RH 75% ± 2. showed that within 6.4 days 68% eggs hatched. The average duration from egg to adult, larval stage and pupal were 23.87, 10.93 and 6.8 days, respectively. Fifty six out of 68 larvae successfully completed their whole 5 instars. There were positive correlation among the larval instars, amount of food consumption and excretion of faeces. About 52% pupa were emerged as adult at laboratory condition.
