Effect of Diets and Low Temperature Storage on Adult Performance and Immature Development of in Laboratory.

The Asiatic apple leaf miner, (Matsumura), is an important insect pest to apples. We developed a rearing method for in the laboratory. Overwintering pupae were collected from our apple orchard, and crabapple seedlings were selected as oviposition substrate and food source for the larval development.

Temperature-Dependent Development of Immature Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) and Its Stage Transition Models.

Asiatic apple leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is an important insect pest of apple in Northeast Asia. Its larvae mine the leaves and are best managed by targeted sprays. Little is known about its thermal development characteristics, thus, immature P.
