在實驗室室溫23±3℃及光照14D: 10L,相對溼度70%的環境下,進行兩種肉食性椿象厲椿與雙峰疣椿象的生活史研究。用麗蠅的幼蟲作爲飼料飼養厲椿。雄蟲產卵,皆產於背光處,產卵時常多粒產於一處,形成卵塊。每次產卵約45~75顆卵的卵塊,平均60顆,卵期8.0±2.5天。若蟲脫皮四次,爲五個齡期,第五次脫皮即爲成蟲;一至五齡若蟲體長分別爲1.48、1.97、3.74、6.64以及9.89mm;各齡期爲4.6、5.2、5.4、6.1以及10.3天。用鱗翅目幼蟲及黃守瓜作爲飼料飼養雙峰疣椿象,卵爲黑色,形狀呈甕型,具卵蓋;雄蟲大多產卵於葉下等背光處,雄蟲每次產卵約2~13粒卵之卵塊,平均7.7±3.6粒,卵期平均10.4±1.3天。若蟲分爲五個齡期,體長分別爲1.33、2.75、3.75、5.12及7.56mm。若蟲各齡期平均爲4.0、5.4、5.0、5.3及10.2天。
The life cycles of two predatory stink bugs Cazira verrucosa and Eocanthecona concinna (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) were studied in the laboratory under L:D 14:10 regime with temperature controlled at 23 ± 3℃ and relative humidity at 70%. E. concinna were fed with blowfly larvae, C. verrucosa with Aulacophora indica. Eggs were laid in egg masses. For E. concinna there were 60 eggs per mass and for C. verrusoca there were only 7.7 eggs per mass. The egg stage for E. concinna and C. verrucosa was 8.0 and 7.7 days, respectively. For both species there were 5 stadia. For E. concinna, the body length of five instars was 1.48, 1.97, 3.74, 6.64 and 9.89 mm, and the stadia duration was 4.6, 5.2, 5.4, 6.1 and 10.3 days, respectively. For C. verrucosa, the body length of five instars was 1.33, 2.75, 3.75, 5.12 and 7.56 mm and the stadia duration was 4.0, 4.2, 5.4, 5.0 and 10 days, respectively.
