Abstract
This study was performed to understand whether host-plant feeding had an influence on subsequent prey consumption in the zoophytophagous mirid Nesidiocoris tenuis, which has the potential for biological control of greenhouse whiteflies. Potted plants of paprika and sesame and cotton balls soaked with water were provided to the test insects for 24 h, then, frozen eggs of Ephestia kuehniella were presented to adult mirids for 24 h, and the number of eggs consumed by them was counted. No significant difference in prey consumption was observed between the mirids previously provided with water ($49.2{\pm}30.58$ eggs) or paprika ($55.7{\pm}31.19$ eggs), whereas those previously fed with sesame ate significantly less prey ($24.2{\pm}34.70$ eggs) than the mirids that were provided with paprika or water.
