Lygaeus equestris (L.) (HETEROPTERA: LYGAEIDAE)’İN BAZI BİYOLOJİK ÖZELLİKLERİ

Öz

Bu çalışmada Lygaeus equestris (L.) (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae)’in bazı biyolojik özellikleri laboratuvar koşullarında (26±1 oC, % 60±10 orantılı nem, 16:8 A:K) araştırılmıştır. Ovipozisyon döneminde ortalama yumurta üretimi 63.1 yumurta/dişi’dir. Ovipozisyon periyodu 5.6 günde tamamlanmıştır Yumurtaların açılma süresi 7.3 gün olup açılma oranı % 73.1’dir. Nimf gelişimi 24 günde tamamlanmıştır. Birinci nimf dönemi 4.0 günde tamamlanırken, ikinci, üçüncü, dördüncü ve beşinci nimf dönemleri, sırasıyla, 2.7, 3.1, 4.3 ve 9.5 güne ihtiyaç duymuştur. Yumurtadan ergine toplam gelişme süresi ise 31.1 gün olarak bulunmuştur.

SOME BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF Lygaeus equestris (L.) (HETEROPTERA: LYGAEIDAE)

Öz

In this study, some biological aspects of Lygaeus equestris (L.) (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) were examined in laboratory conditions (26±1 oC, 60±10 % rh, 16:8 L:D). Mean egg production during the oviposition period was 63.1 eggs/female. The oviposition period lasted 5.6 days. Incubation period was 7.3 days and egg hatchability was 73.1 %. Nymphal development was completed in 24 days, while the development of the first nyphal stage was completed in 4 days, the second, third, fourth and fifth nymphal stages required 2.7, 3.1, 4.7 and 9.5 days, respectively. Total development time from egg to adult was assessed as 31.1 days.
