Abstract: Overwintering of Trichogramma evanescens Westw. in Egypt (Trichogrammatidae, Hymen.)
Zaki, Fayez N.
Eggs of A. kuehniella parasitized by T. evanescens were held outdoors in a shadow place during the period from November 20th, up to parasite emergence. Blackness of the parasitized eggs appeared 3 days later.
Overwintering lasted for 99 days starting from 24th, November till 2nd of March at an average temperature of 10.1° C. When temperature increased to an average of 16.6° C, the parasitoids continued their development for 5 days till the emergence of adults.
Emerged adult parasitoids showed relatively normal bioaspects as those reared in the laboratory.
