Laboratory observations on the life history and habits of Phelister Haemorrhous
The biology of the predatory histerid beetle Phelister haemorrhous Marseul was studied in the laboratory. Females deposit eggs singly 2-4 mm deep in soil beneath cattle dung. Embryonic incubation averaged 1.9 days and larval development (two instars) averaged 12.2 days. The duration of the pupal sta...
