Use of artificial diets for rearing larvae and adults of Ceraeochrysa cubana (Hagen) (Neuroptera: chrysopioae)
Three artificial diets for rearing larvae and three artificial diets for rearing adults of Ceraeochrysa cubana were tested. In the rearing larvae used diets were the Hassan and Hagen, (1978), Ponomoreva, (1971) and a diet composed by the combinationof the precceding diets and the one used by Vanderzant, (1973). With the first diet which showed better results, the testing kept on for three consecutive generations; the average duration of development of the early stages was 35,23 days compared to 17,3 days when they were fed with S. cerealella eggs, the average pupal weight was 6,3mg wiht diet number one compared to 8,6 mg when S. cerealella eggs were used. Besides the increase in the development duration of early phases up to maturity stages(physiological disdjustment) under pupal weight with fictitious diets use, juvenile mortaly was increased and in the grown - ups obtained decreased the fecundity, longevity and fertility, while when feeding was with S. cerealella eggs the preceeding standards of biological nature kept a constant level duringsecond and third generations. In the using of three the tested artificial diets in the rearing of adults of C. cubana high fecundity was reached as well as fertily and longevity with490, 493 and 458 eggs/female/28 days average.
