Laboratory experiments were carried out to study the influence of different host plants on some biological characteristics of I. seychellarum . The experiments were conducted in the Insectary of the Economic Entomology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University under fluctuated temperature degrees of 28±1°c ; 20±1°c and 60±5% R.H. The total developmental stages were the shortest when I. seychellarum reared on ornamental palm and represented by 40.1 ± 0. 71 and 54.9 ± 1.61 days under fluctuated temperature of 28 ± 1 °c and 20 ± 1°c respectively. The survival rates during the nymphal stage of I. seychellarum was the highest on ornamental palm followed by persimmon and the lowest on mango and guava . Based on the survival rate as an index of suitability of different host plants . the suitability in decreasing order was: on ornamental palm. persimmon, ficus. loquat. guava, mango under fluctuated temperature of 28 ± 1 °c and 20 ± 1°c .
