Fig. 1B). The maximum longevity of T. howardi was 50 d at 16 °C and the minimum was 2 d at 31 °C. The longevity of this parasitoid was 21 d at 25 °C. Tetrastichus howardi females began to oviposit on the same day they had contact with the host pupae. Parasitoid progeny production was greater when parasitism occurred during the 1st day of exposure to host pupae at all temperatures. About 90% of the offspring was pro-
