Abstract
The life history and reproductive rates of L. destructor (Schrank) were examined at 14.degree., 20.degree., 25.degree. and 30.degree. C and 75% relative humidity. There was no development at 30.degree. C. A few hypopi wereproduced at 14.degree. C, but none at 20.degree. and 25.degree. C. The highest net reproductive rates of 53 and 55 females produced/female per generation were at 14.degree. and 25.degree. C.
