ABSTRACT
Development and reproductive performance of Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera Pentatomidae) fed with Musca domestica L. (Diptera Muscidae) larvae was evaluated. Duration of the nymphal phase of this predator was 31.2 days, with a 44.1 percent survival rate. Preoviposition and egg incubation periods and number of eggs/egg mass were 8.14 days, 5.6 days, and 45.4, respectively. B. tabidus presented 44.7 percent egg viability. Female longevity of this predator was 18.4 days. Results are discussed based on this prey use in mass rearing and maintenance of colonies of B. tabidus under laboratory conditions.
