The present paper deals with its Biology. The four constant temperatures, 15, 20. 25 and 30 ºC; each combined with 60±5 % R.H. were used to estimate the durations of immature stages and activity of adult reproduction. The temperature showed a significant effect on each parameter. The most favourable hygrothermic condition are 30 ºC and 60 %R.H. The longevity of mated and unmated parasitic individuals were also estimated under different temperatures and feeding regimes. It was significantly affected by such factors UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2004/ARJSU/404/2/93.pdf ER -
