Abstract

Background: Egg cannibalism is common in nature. In China, Arma custos (Hemiptera: Asopinae) has been widely used as a natural enemy to control agricultural and forestry pests. A previous study showed that adult A. custos devour their eggs. However, no research has investigated the interaction between A. custos cannibalism and egg development. Clarifying the mechanisms involved in egg cannibalism by A. custos improves our understanding of the evolutionary relationships to enable more efficient mass rearing and biological control systems.
