Regression equations developed at constant and fluctuating temperatures indicated that the 5th nymphal instar required 10 days at 15°C and 4 days at 30°C. The other instars required 6–7 days at 15°C and 2–3 days at 30°C. Nymphal developmental time was similar for males and females with a mean of 27 days at 20°C and of 12 days at 30°C.Read More
