“…Similarly, C. carnea larvae have been generally found to kill most of the presented prey (e.g., aphids, moths, and whiteflies) at low prey densities whereas reduction of killed individuals occurred at higher densities. Furthermore, the third instar was found to be the most efficient against spider mites, Lepidoptera, and aphids, which agrees with our results for S. oleae [18,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Moreover, the attack rate was similar for the three larval instars and the handling time of the third instar was the lowest when C. carnea was fed on Hyalopterus pruni (Geoffer) nymphs [34].…”

“…Moreover, the ability of different lacewings species to prey on pest can vary. For example, C. carnea fed on Aphis gossypii Glover express a lower handling time and a higher attack rate in comparison with Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto) [39]. Therefore, further studies should analyze the predatory potentiality of different species of Chrysopids on S. oleae and other olive pests.…”

Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a voracious predator of soft-bodied insects such as juveniles of scale insects and the black scale Saissetia oleae (Olivier) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) is an important pest of several crops, such as the olive tree. However, the predatory efficiency of C. carnea on S. oleae has been unstudied yet. The present work aimed to study the functional response of larvae of C. carnea fed on S. oleae nymphs. In a controlled laboratory environment, increasing densities of S. oleae second and third nymph stages were offered to newly emerged specimens of the three larvae instars of C. carnea. After 24 h, the number of killed S. oleae was recorded and the functional response of C. carnea was assessed. The three larval stages of C. carnea displayed a type-II functional response, i.e., killed prey increased with higher S. oleae densities up to a maximum limited by the handling time. The attack rate did not significantly differ among the three instars while the maximum attack rate was significantly higher for the third instar. The handling time of the first larval instar of C. carnea was higher than that of the third instar. Our results demonstrated that S. oleae could act as a food resource for all larval stages of C. carnea. Furthermore, the third larval stage of the predator was the most efficient in reducing S. oleae densities. These results suggest that C. carnea larvae could contribute to S. oleae control in sustainable agriculture.

“…More detailed studies considering different preys, precise statistical analyses and the effect in the different larval instars are required to know the specific details of the functional response of predatory syrphid larvae. The functional response of most polyphagous predators is one of the key aspects to consider their use as BCAs (Murdoch and Oaten, 1975), but field-based studies are always needed to confirm experimental results under controlled conditions (Pervez and Omkar, 2005;Montoya-Alvarez et al, 2010).…”

The average recorded duration of A. exotica development was 2.0, 7.4 and 5.7 days for eggs, larvae and pupae respectively, and 15.04 days from egg to adult emergence. The adult longevity was not significantly sex dependent, but imagoes lived longer than in previous studies. The offspring sex ratio was favorable to males. The mortality and survival rate were recorded on a daily basis for all immature stages and adults. The age specific survival rate was determined and the highest mortality occurred in eggs followed by mortality in 1st and 2nd instar larva.Moreover, in the present study different levels of aphid densities 10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100 were used to calculate the functional response. Based on logistic regression analyses the three instar larvae and the whole larval stage (first to third instar) exhibited a type II functional response. Handling time was shortest for the third larval instar followed by second and first instars. Potential use of A. exotica in augmentative biological control is discussed.

“…Although three types of functional responses may be exhibited by predators (Holling, 1959), type II is the most common in insects (Begon, Harper & Townsend, 1999), including chrysopids (Montoya-Alvarez et al, 2010; Parajulee et al, 2006; Stewart, Braman & Pendley, 2002). The type II functional response is characterized by an increase in consumption rate with increasing prey availability until reaching a plateau at which the consumption rate stabilizes (Holling, 1959), yielding a negative value for the linear parameter (Juliano, 2001).…”

Background Compared to chemical control, the use of naturally occurring biological agents to control invasive pests is less threatening to the environment and human health. Objectives Here, we assessed the ability of immature stages of the lacewing Ceraeochrysa caligata (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to prey upon different developmental stages of the red palm mite Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), one of the most destructive invasive pests of palm trees in Neotropical regions. Methods Increasing densities of three stages of R. indica (eggs, immature stages, and adult females) were offered to C. caligata in coconut leaf arenas. The immature stages of C. caligata were less than 24 h old and were starved before being transferring to the arenas. The amount of prey consumed was recorded 6 h after releasing the C. caligata. Results Our results indicated that the ability of C. caligata to feed upon R. indica increased with the larval development of the predator. Higher feeding levels and shorter handling times were recorded for the first and second instars of C. caligata when preying upon the eggs and immature stages of R. indica. Furthermore, C. caligata individuals of different stages exhibited differential functional responses according to prey type (i.e., eggs, immatures, or adult females of R. indica). Ceraeochrysa caligata second instar individuals exhibited a sigmoid increase in consumption rate with increasing prey availability (i.e., a type III functional response) when preying upon immature stages of R. indica. However, when preying upon R. indica adult females, C. caligata second instar individuals exhibited a type II functional response (i.e., an increase in consumption rate with increasing prey availability, before reaching a plateau). Predator individuals of the first and third instar stages exhibited a type II functional response for all prey types. Conclusions Collectively, our findings demonstrate that C. caligata, especially at the second instar stage, has potential as a tool for ecological management of the red palm mite.
