| Abstract | Anaphesiole Girault (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) is a solitary egg parasitoid of Lygus bugs (Heteroptera: Miridae) in North America. Circumstantial evidence suggests that A. iole females are strictly proovigenic. This study was designed to determine if honey-fed A. iole females could in fact mature additional eggs if exposed to hosts for a few days then removed from hosts and held at 25 °C for 0, 3, or 6 days. Contrary to expectation, honey-fed A. iole females matured considerably more eggs when deprived of hosts for 3 or 6 days rather than 0 days. This research suggests that A. iole females are not strictly proovigenic. However, they do have proovigenic tendencies, since most females emerge with at least 71% of their potential fecundity. |
