Description
Summary:Improved techniques were developed for the rearing and maintenance of Mantispa viridis Walker. These have proven highly successful and have eliminated problems encountered by other researchers working on mantispine developmental studies, and should allow subsequent studies to be conducted under standardized conditions. These techniques also have been used in maintaining colonies of beaded lacewings (Neuroptera: Berothidae), various spider egg parasitoids and predators, and are adaptable for other arthropods that require individual confinement. /// Se desarrollaron tecnicas mejoradas para la crianza y mantenimiento de Mantispa viridis Walker. Estas tecnicas tuvieron mucho exito y se eliminaron problemas encontrados por otros investigadores; de la misma forma estas tecnicas permitieron que se realizaran estudios subsiguientes en condiciones normales. Estas tecnicas se utilizaron tambien para mantener colonias de los insectos de encaje con borlas (Neuroptera: Berothidae), y para varios parasitos de huevos de arañas. Estas tecnicas pueden ser adaptadas para la crianza de otros artropodos que requieran confinamiento individual.
