摘要: The quality of different species aphids as food for aphidiphagous ladybird beetles varies greatly. optimal oviposition theory predicts that a female should lay eggs preferentially in patches suitable prey and be reluctant to oviposit less prey. A no-choice experiment was used test whether (Homoptera: Aphididae) suitability influence the behaviour two-spot beetle, Adalia bipunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). results indicate A. females are not more presence moderately compared highly aphids. However, laid fewer toxic
