Immature Stages
of Heliodinidae
Detailed
information on immature stages of Heliodinidae is being acquired. However, Hollinger & Parks (1919)
noted that Euclemensia bassettella Clemens, a common predator
on Kermes galliformis Riley in Texas,
have larvae that feed on large masses of eggs located beneath them. Prior to pupation the mature larva cuts a
circular or oval hole in the scale=s dorsum, and closes the opening with a
silk mesh. A single generation is
produced each year, which corresponds to the host cycle. Please CLICK on picture to view
