Abstract

Studies on consumption of Corcyra cephalonica Stainton and Clostera fulgurita Walker by Canthecona furcellata Wolff under different temperature regimes viz., 22°C, 27°C, 32°C and 37°C revealed that the maximum average predation on C. cephalonica was observed at 27°C (9.50%) followed by 37°C (7.37%), 32°C (7.13%) and 22°C (2.75%) while in case of C. fulgurita the maximum average predation was at 32°C (24.39%) followed by 27°C (23.60%), 22°C (13.78%) and 37°C (13.06%).
