- Abstract:
- The effect of the association with Eucalyptus urophylla seedlings on mortality, nymphal phase duration, and adult weight of Supputius cincticeps (Stal, 1860) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed with Tenebrio molitor (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae was investigated. S. cincticeps were reared in the laboratory under 25 ± 2°C, 70 ± 10% r.h., and 12 hours of photophase on three diets: (1) prey (T. molitor larvae), (2) prey + plant (E. urophylla seedling), and (3) plant. S. cincticeps reared on prey + plant showed lower mortality, shorter nymphal development, and heavier females.
