Abstract: Survival and life cycle of Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed Dione juno juno (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Heliconiidae) larvae were studied at 25 ± 2°C, 65 ± 10% RH and 12 D:L. Duration of egg stage and of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th stadia was 4.0; 4.0; 4.9; 4.7; 4.8 and 5.8 days, respectively. Survival from 1st instar to adult stage was 67%. The predator took 28 days and the prey 33 days to complete the life cycle.
