“…In this study, C. nipponensis and C. carnea presented a Type II functional response (Holling, 1959), similar to several reports on the functional response in C. carnea, C. rufilabris, C. externa, and C. congrua (Stark and Whitford, 1987;Nordlund and Morrison, 1990;Kabissa et al, 1996;Fonseca et al, 2000;Stewart et al, 2002;Auad and Moraes, 2003).

The functional response of the indigenous green lacewing Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto) and the imported green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) feeding on seven different densities of the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii (Glover) (Homoptera: Aphididae) was studied under laboratory conditions at 20°C. C. nipponensis and C. carnea have shown a Type II functional response based on logistic regression analysis. The maximum number of prey eaten by C. carnea was higher than C. nipponensis. Handling time decreased at 24 h for both species, but was higher for C. nipponensis at 12 and 24 h than for C. carnea. The attack coefficient of C. nipponensis was slightly higher than C. carnea in second and third instars. These results indicate that C. carnea may eat more aphids at high prey densities; however, C. nipponensis could be considered a prospective candidate for use as a commercial biological control agent for aphids in Japan. C. nipponensis will become more important than C. carnea from the viewpoint of environmental safety because it is a native species adapted to the Japanese environment, and nontarget effects can be avoided.

“…However, generalizations across chrysopid species may not be appropriate as shown by El-Arnaouty et al (1996), who found that E. kuehniella was of better quality to C. carnea compared to peach-potato aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), whereas the opposite was the case for Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto). Besides Kabissa et al (1996) considered both H. armigera eggs and A. gossypii nymphs to be unsuitable prey for larvae of Mallada desjardinsi (Navas) and Chrysoperla congrua (Walker) as evidenced by high mortality of 3rd instar before pupation.…”

Among the lacewing species studied for control of lepidopteran pests, C. carnea has been found to be an important predator against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Bakthavatsalam et al 2000).…”

The predation capacity and prey preference of larvae of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on eggs or larvae of Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in the absence and presence of cabbage aphids as an alternative prey were evaluated in laboratory experiments at 25°C. Both instars preyed upon butterfly eggs and larvae as well as on cabbage aphids with the third instar being the most voracious. The lacewings had a strong preference for caterpillars to butterfly eggs. In the presence of the aphids the predation on P. brassicae eggs or larvae was either completely abandoned or reduced by about 70%, respectively, by second instar lacewings and either reduced by about 80% or maintained, respectively, by third instar lacewings. Both instars thus had a clear preference for aphids compared to eggs of P. brassicae. However, second instar lacewings preferred aphids to caterpillars whereas the opposite was the case for third instar lacewings. The results indicate that 3rd instar C. carnea has a potential as biocontrol agent against P. brassicae.

“…The latter characteristic can be an advantage for a predator since it may enhance survival of the predator and thereby increase predation pressure on other species, including the target pest (Mahdian et al ., 2007). Some studies have been performed on the predation capacity of lacewings on lepidopteran prey (e.g., Kabissa et al ., 1996; El‐Wakeil, 2003; Parajulee et al ., 2006), but the functional response (i.e., number of prey killed as a function of prey density [Solomon, 1949; Holling, 1959]) of C. carnea to this pest has only been sparsely examined (Kabissa et al ., 1996).…”

Functional response of Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Effect of prey and predator stages

Understanding predator–prey interactions has a pivotal role in biological control programs. This study evaluated the functional response of three larval instars of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), preying upon eggs and first instar larvae of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hübner. The first and second instar larvae of C. carnea exhibited type II functional responses against both prey stages. However, the third instar larvae of C. carnea showed a type II functional response to the first instar larvae of H. armigera, but a type III functional response to the eggs. For the first instar larvae of C. carnea, the attack rate on H. armigera eggs was significantly higher than that on the larvae, whereas the attack rate of the second instar C. carnea on H. armigera larvae was significantly higher than that on the eggs. For the third instar larvae of C. carnea, the attack rate on the larvae was 1.015 ± 0.278/h, and the attack coefficient on the eggs was 0.036 ± 0.005. The handling times of the third instar larvae on larvae and eggs were 0.087 ± 0.009 and 0.071 ± 0.001 h, respectively. The highest predation rate was found for the third instar larvae of C. carnea on H. armigera eggs. Results of this study revealed that the larvae of C. carnea, especially the third instar, had a good predation potential in controlling H. armigera eggs and larvae. However, for a comprehensive estimation of the bio‐control abilities of C. carnea toward H. armigera, further field‐based studies are needed.
