Thermal Oviposition Performance of the Ladybird Preying on Two-Spotted Spider Mites.

The ladybird, (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is an important predator of two-spotted spider mites, Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), in southeastern Europe and western and southwestern Asia, such as Iran, India, and Turkey. To enhance forecasting the occurrence and performance of this predator in natural control and improve its usage in biological control, we evaluated and compared four non-linear oviposition models, i.e.

Modeling Thermal Developmental Trajectories and Thermal Requirements of the Ladybird .

The development rate of the predatory ladybird, Stethorus gilvifrons (Mulsant), fed on Tetranychus urticae Koch, was determined at 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 34, and 38 °C. The total development time from egg to adult emergence for females was estimated to be 61.4, 31.
