Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of temperature and food onthe nymphal development and adult longevity of the green virid bug, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Router. Nymphal period was 13.2 to 13.7 days at 24$^{\circ}C$, 10.4 to 10.9 days at 28$^{\circ}C$, and 9.0 to 9.3 days at 32$^{\circ}C$. Number of eggs predated by nymph was 10.6-14.3 at 24$^{\circ}C$, 7.5-9.2 at 28$^{\circ}C$, and 5.8-7.5 at 32$^{\circ}C$. Amount of predation was highest on BPH, followed by SBPH, WBPH, and GLH. Number of nympal moulting was mostly four times (55-75%) followed by three times (25-45%), regardless of temperature and food. Percent emergence rate was 52-70%, 48-66% and 22-38% at 24$^{\circ}C$, 28$^{\circ}C$ and 32$^{\circ}C$, respectively, showing a tendency to decrease with increasing temperature, and was affected by foods. Adult longevity, when supplied with one food, was 19.8 to 22.5 days at 24$^{\circ}C$, 15.6 to 17.0 days at 28$^{\circ}C$, and 10.3 to 11.7 days at 32$^{\circ}C$. There was no significant difference among foods in terms of adult longevity, but it tended to be slightly longer when provided with four foods than with one food. Number of eggs predated by an adult, when supplied with one food, was 35.7-54.2, 31.6-44.6 and 18.1-28.2 at 24$^{\circ}C$, 28$^{\circ}C$ and 32$^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was highest on BPH, followed by SBPH, WBPH and GLH regardless of temperature. Number of egg Predated by an adult, when supplied with four foods, was 4.0-28.9, 2.9-29.0 and 17-13.6 at 24$^{\circ}C$, 28$^{\circ}C$ and 32$^{\circ}C$, respectively, and was significantly different among foods supplied. The results suggest that the significantly different predation amount by adult was due to food preference amoung the different foods.
