Modeling Thermal Developmental Trajectories and Thermal Requirements of the Ladybird <i>Stethorus gilvifrons</i>

The development rate of the predatory ladybird, <i>Stethorus gilvifrons</i> (Mulsant), fed on <i>Tetranychus urticae</i> Koch, was determined at 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 34, and 38 °C. The total development time from egg to adult emergence for females was estimated to be 61.4, 31....
