Abstract

The Coccinellid predator Menochilus sexmaculatus was reared on four species of aphids, and there was a marked influence of host on the growth and development of the predator. The beetles developed faster and were heavier and larger and lived longer, when fed on 4. craccivora while they were smaller and lighter with shorter life span, on A. inalvac. The other aphid species, viz. A. gossypii G. and Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch, had medium effect on the predator.
