Abstract: Anastrepha ludens is a polyphagous frugivorous tephritid that infests citrus and mango. Here, we report the establishment of a laboratory colony of A. ludens reared on a larval medium that is a waste for the citrus industry, specifically, orange (Citrus × sinensis) fruit bagasse. After 24 generations of rearing on a nutritionally poor orange bagasse diet, pupae weighed 41.1% less than pupae from a colony reared on a nutritionally rich artificial diet. Larvae from the orange bagasse diet had 6.94% less protein … Show more

“…Anastrepha ludens were obtained from a laboratory colony established at the "Planta Piloto de Cría de Moscas de la Fruta y Enemigos Naturales (parasitoides)", Red de Manejo Biorracional de Plagas y Vectores (RMBPV) of the Instituto de Ecología, A.C., Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. Details on the maintenance and rearing of this colony are described elsewhere [48,49]. In short, A. ludens larvae were reared on an artificial diet [48,49] and, after pupation, pupae were placed in 30 × 30 × 60 cm Plexiglas cages.…”

In short, A. ludens larvae were reared on an artificial diet [48,49] and, after pupation, pupae were placed in 30 × 30 × 60 cm Plexiglas cages. Adults emerged inside cages and were provided with food (a 3: 1 mixture of cane sugar: yeast hydrolysate MP Biomedicals, LLC, Solon, OH, USA) and water ad libitum (water was administered through a felt wick inserted into a plastic container with water and a lid).…”
