Abstract:

The predation of Hierodula patellifera serville on the Monolepta occifuvis Gressitt et Kimoto was studied in the laboratory. The results showed under the natural condition that functional response of H. patellifera serville to adults of M. occifuvis was determined as Holling’s type Ⅱ, the model was Na=0.448Nt/(1+0.01238Nt), a′=0.448, Th=0.02759h, the maximum predation was 36.24. The searching efficiency was de-creased with the increase of the density of themselves, and the mathematic model was E=0.328P-0.355. The model concerned provides scientific support for evaluation of the control effect of H. patellifera serville to adults of M. occifuvis.
