Abstract
The Reduviid predator, Amphibolus venator Klug (Reduviidae: Hemiptera) was reared on larvae of Plodia interpunctella Hb., Tribolium confusum Duv., Trogoderma granarium Everts, Lasioderma serricorni Fab and Rhizopertha dominica F. under optimum laboratory conditions of 27 ± 1 °C and 60 ± 5% R.H. The most preferable host was found to be R. dominica and L. serricorni larvae, followed by T. confusum and P. interpunctella, while the larvae of T. granarium appeared to be unsuitable host for this predator.
