Abstract
A technique is described for rearing a coccinellid on a dry, particulate food. Coleomegilla maculata lengi Timb. (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae) was reared from first-instar larva to adult on the pollens of corn, gray birch, hemp, and hornbeam, and on the dried and powdered nymphs and adults of Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch.) (Homoptera:Aphididae).Keywords
