Determination of Biology and Prey Preference of the Predator Insect, Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) Against Storage Pests

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the biology of Xylocoris flavipes Reuter (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae), an important predator of stored product pests, and its prey preference on some warehouse pests. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions at 25±2ºC temperature and 55±10% humidity. Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs were used to determine the biology of X. flavipes. E. kuehniella, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) larvae were utilized to detect the prey preferences of X. flavipes. The mean development time (days) of five nymphs, female and male adults of Xylocoris flavipes on E. kuehniella eggs were as follows: 4.2±0.63; 3.1±0.57; 2.9±0.57; 3.0±0.00; 4.5±0.53; 104.2±17.01; 114.6±12.34, respectively. The average egg consumption for the aforementioned stages was: 5.0±1.76; 9.9±3.07; 9.1±6.01; 13.3±4.14; 22.5±4.79; 515.6±75.46; 286.2±24.39, respectively. Although mature male X. flavipes survived longer than females, females consumed more E. kuehniella eggs than males. The mean oviposition period of the females was 36.7±12.39 days, and the average laid egg number was 117.3±29.86. The consumed E. kuehniella eggs and larvae, T. confusum, and T. granarium larvae during the predator nymph period were on average 63.1±6.01; 49.6±2.76; 26.8±3,52; 12.8±4.29, respectively. The average development time (days) of the nymphs for the aforementioned consumption stages were 16.4±1.96; 15.4±0.52; 16.2±1.14; 21.6±4.62, respectively. The consumed E. kuehniella eggs and larvae, T. confusum, and T. granarium larvae during the predator adult period were on average 570±231.32; 249.5±142.10; 218.1±110.57; 22.2±6.23, respectively. The average development time (days) of the adults for the aforementioned consumption stages were 87.5±30.92; 75.9±41.18; 89.3±43.55; 24.5±7.18 days, respectively. X. flavipes preferred mostly E. kuehniella eggs among the preys during the nymph and adult stages, and least T. granarium larvae.
