Abstract

Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) has great importance in studies of agricultural pest control, however, the success of it mass production depends on several factors, among which we canhighlight the temperature of the rearing environment. Aiming to discover the influence of environmen- tal temperature on the reproductive potential and survival of C. externa, pre-oviposition period, daily number of eggs per female, egg viability and mortality of adults of C. externa couples in three differenttemperatures: 18°C ± 1, 25 ± 1°C and ambient temperature (mean of 21.8 ± 2°C) were compared.Three replicates of ten couples per treatment were made, with each couple maintained in a breeding cage. WThe temperature of the environment in which C. externa adults were reared interfered with their reproductive potential, because with increasing temperature the pre-oviposition decreased, the numberof eggs per female and the daily egg viability increased, however, mortality of adults was not significantly different.
