We investigated the influence of convenient diets on big-eyed bug Geocoris ochropterus. Development and reproduction of G. ochropterus fed on convenient diets of ant pupae Oecophylla smaragdina and silkworm pupae Bombyx mori were examined using aphids Aphis gossypii as the control diet. Results showed that Geocoris ochropterus nymphs completed development to adults on all diets. Total average development period was 35.1 days fed on ant pupae, 35.9 days fed on silkworm pupae, and 36.0 days fed on aphids. Head width, body length, forewing length, and fresh body weight of adults were not affected by diets, except for females reared on ant pupae that were significantly heavier than those fed on aphids. There was no significant difference in offspring sex ratio. Total number of eggs deposited per female fed on ant pupae was significantly larger than when fed on aphids, while eggs laid by females fed on silkworm pupae were significantly longer than eggs laid by females fed on aphids. Results suggest that ant pupae and silkworm pupae could be effectively used for mass rearing of G. ochropterus.

我们调查了便利饮食对大眼bug象co虫的影响。以蚜虫Aphis gossypii为对照，研究了以蚂蚁pOecophylla smaragdina和家蚕pBombyx mori的方便日粮为食的och鳞草的发育和繁殖。结果表明Geo骨Geo若虫在所有饮食下都完成了向成年人的发育。以蚂蚁p为食的总平均发育期为35.1天，以蚕p为食的总平均发育期为35.9天，以蚜虫为食的总平均发育期为36.0天。成年人的头宽，体长，前躯长度和新鲜体重不受饮食的影响，除了在蚂蚁rear上饲养的雌性比在蚜虫中喂养的雌性要重得多的雌性外。后代性别比例无显着差异。饲喂蚂蚁up的雌性每只产卵的总数量明显多于蚜虫，而饲喂蚕p的雌性所产的卵的数量长于蚜虫的雌性所产的鸡蛋的总长。结果表明，蚂蚁p和家蚕could可以有效地用于鱼的大规模饲养。
