摘要
The fecundity of Hippodamia convergens following shipment did not exceed 1.2 +/- 0.5 eggs/female/day during 7-day trials. Fecundity was higher (7.4 +/- 1.8 and 7.6 +/- 1.6) in 14-day trials. If beetles do not disperse, egg production may be expected 5 days following their release if an adequate food source and favorable local environment are provided.
