Abstract
The egg and five nymphal instars of Zelus socius Uhler are described and illustrated. The eggs are elongate-oval, 1.39 mm high and 0.53 mm in diameter (mean values). The mean lengths of nymphs are 2.45, 3.47, 5.64, 7.56, and 10.49 mm in the five stages, respectively. The developmental period for eggs averaged 9.0 days and the nymphal development averaged 52.6 days. There is one generation a year.Keywords
