RESUMO
Postembryonic development of Misumenops pallida (Keyserling) (Araneae, Thomisidae), one of the most abundant predator species in soybean fields in Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) was studied. The life cycle was observed in the laboratory from egg sacs collected in the field, and from egg sacs spined in the laboratory by gravid females collected in the field. Results indicated that instar length and feeding rate increased throughout the life cycle being higher in females than in males. Greater mortality was observed to third and fourth instars decreasing thereafter. These results may contribute to deternmine the efficiency of this species as a natural enemy of insect pests of soybean
