Fig. 3 in Biological responses of Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Cenibroca artificial diet at different moisture content levels and relative humidities

Fig. 3. Coffee berry borer external feeding and reproduction behavior on Cenibroca artificial diet with 60% moisture content at 75% relative humidity. Notice how the external reproduction offers a simple separation of the coffee berry borer immature and adults from the diet for coffee berry borer parasitoid production. (A) Diet pellet 10 to 15 d afer infestation showing external feeding and development of first-generation offspring, arrows showing eggs of first generation. (B) Diet pellet 25 to 30 d afer infestation showing external feeding and development of first-generation offspring. Stages suitable for the African ectoparasitoids (Cephalonomia stephanoderis and Prorops nasuta) reproduction. (C) Diet pellet 35 to 40 d afer infestation showing external feeding and development of first-generation offspring. Notice the presence of mature and teneral females, arrows showing oviposition of second generation. (D) Diet pellet> 50 d afer infestation showing female production, suitable for the reproduction of the African ectoparasitoid P. nasuta.
