The functional and numerical responses of Habrobracon hebetor (Say) were assessed over 30 sequential generations (G) on different densities (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 fifth-instar larvae) of the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller). Seven tested generations (G2inf, G4inf, G6inf, G8inf, G10inf, G15inf, and G30inf) had already been naturally infected by a fungus species, whereas only the second generation (G2) had the colonies of both infected (G2inf) and uninfected (G2uninf) individuals. All infected generations, as well as the uninfected generation, showed a Type III functional response.
