dc.description.abstract | Praying mantids are one of the common predators in cashew plantations of South- West Karnataka and few species are seen throughout the year. The mantids feed on many cashew pests including tea mosquito bug, leaf beetles, leaf feeding caterpillars etc. Knowledge on ecology, life history, breeding, rearing feasibility and behavior of many of the mantid species is scanty. Our study aimed at recording the life cycle and behavior of two common mantid species in cashew plantations namely, Hestiasula brunneriana Saussure and Euantissa pulchra F. (Acromantinae: Hymenopodidae) under captive breeding using greater wax moth larvae as prey. In case of H. brunneriana, incubation period lasted for 26.65±0.27 days and there were seven nymphal instars, completed in 78-120 days. Whereas in E. pulchra, incubation period was just 9.38±0.18 days and the nymphal period comprised of six instars. Unlike E. pulchra, early instar nymphs of H. brunneriana managed well to feed on tiny wax moth larvae and survived well. Cannibalism was not observed during nymphal stages when reared in groups of 3 or 4 with sufficient prey. Though incubation period and nymphal developmental period were short in E. pulchra, adult longevity, oviposition period and fecundity were high compared to H. brunneriana. The period of sexual maturity, ovipositional behaviour and the courtship behaviour of the mantids were also recorded. | en_US |
