Abstract
When specimens of Lygus hesperus Knight were reared at constant and fluctuating temperatures, no differences occurred in the rate of development of either eggs or nymphs within a range of 15°–35°C. Temperatures of 40°C were lethal to both eggs and nymphs. At a constant temperature of 10°C, eclosion did not occur, but 6 nymphs developed into adults. Time of development for nymphs was about twice that for eggs at a given temperature.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
