“…For mass-rearing, however, very few studies have been done on the breeding capacity of rearing cages: therefore, this study focused on evaluating the plastic Petri dish as a mass-rearing cage using two Orius species, Orius strigicollis (Poppius) and O. laevigatus (Fieber) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae). The former is a common species in the southwestern part of Japan, Taiwan, and southern China (Yasunaga, 1997). It is registered as a biotic pesticide and is commercially available in Japan.…”

Orius strigicollis (Poppius) and O. laevigatus (Fieber) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) can be reared successfully using a plastic Petri dish (90 mm in diameter, 20 mm in depth) as a rearing cage with wheat grains to prevent cannibalism and excessive moisture. Frozen eggs of Ephestia kuehniella were supplied as food and a soybean seedling was provided as an oviposition substrate. The rate of individuals reaching the adult stage averaged 74-87% when the initial nymphal density was 100-400. In addition to the high breeding capacity, these insects could be separated without difficulty from wheat grains by using a suitable sieve, and wheat grains were reusable after sterilization in an oven.

“…On the other hand, O. strigicollis has been proposed as an effective biological control agent during the short days in the winter season because this species has a weaker reproductive diapause than O. sauteri, O. minutus, and O. nagai (Shimizu and Kawasaki, 2001;Kakimoto et al, 2003). O. strigicollis, O. sauteri, and O. minutus are frequently found together on various kinds of crops and herbaceous plants (Yasunaga, 1997b), and on deciduous trees such as mulberry, Morus spp. (Kakimoto et al, 2002).…”

“…Predatory bugs used in the experiments were collected on marguerite flowers Chrysanthemum frutescens L. (Compositae) in Tehran, Iran. O. niger was separated and identified using the single rearing method (Yasunaga and Kashio, 1993;Yasunaga, 1997). They were reared at 26°C, r.h. 70Ϯ5% and a photoperiod of L16:D8 hours with eggs of E. kuehniella as food.…”

“…has greatly increased in many greenhouse vegetables and ornamental crops (Van den Meiracker and Ramakers, 1991;Van de Veire and Degheele, 1992;Cocuzza et al, 1997;Van den Meiracker, 1999). Orius consists of 67 species (Yasunaga, 1997) and Orius niger Wolff is a Palaearctic species (Loomans et al, 1995) and has been recorded from many parts of Iran. This species preys upon thrips (Ramakers, 1978), mites and aphids (Akramovskaya, 1978), eggs and larvae of Lepidoptera, and eggs of pentatomids (Pericart, 1972).…”

The predatory bug Orius niger Wolff occurs throughout Iran in various climatic zones. Because of its apparent adaptation to these different climates, it is being considered as a potential biological control agent of the pest Thrips tabaci Lind. in various crops in Iran. We measured the basic life-history parameters of O. niger on a diet of corn pollen and eggs of the moth Ephestia kuehniella Zeller at 3 constant temperatures (26, 29 and 32°C under 16L-8D) to assess the possibility of culturing this predator for mass releases. Bean pods were supplied as oviposition sites. The intrinsic rate of increase was 0.113, 0.127 and 0.157 daughters/female/day at 26, 29, and 32°C respectively. Analysis of the mortality of eggs, juveniles and adults suggests that the population growth rate is restricted most by juvenile mortality. This mortality is probably caused by cannibalism, the occurrence of which should therefore be minimized in mass cultures.
