title: [Influence of temperature and light on the growth and development of Tenodera angustipennis and related preying functional responses].
abstract: Tenodera angustipennis was raised under laboratory conditions to study the influence of temperature and light on the growth and development of its nymphs. The functional responses of T. angustipennis to Plutella xylostella (L.) larvae and adults and to Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) were also studied. The results showed that temperature remarkably affected the growth and development of T. angustipennis, but light did not. The Holling models could well describe the functional responses of T. angustipennis to P. xylostella and L. erysimi.
