Abstract
The bug Corimelaena lateralis lateralis (F.), ranges from New York west to North Dakota and south to Florida and Texas (McAtee and Malloch 1933). It is a common insect in southern Illinois, feeding and reproducing on the flowers and developing fruits of wild carrot, Daiicus carota L. Biological information is very limited on this insect. Blatchley (1926) reported C. lateralis from weeds and tall grasses near water in Indiana. Froeschner (1941) reported it from weedy fields in Missouri. Based on the geographical distribution of C. lateralis lateralis just stated this information relates to subspecies lateralis. This paper concerns the laboratory rearing of the insect.Keywords
