This study was carried out to know whether the host plant feeding have an influence to subsequent prey consumption of a zoophytophagous mirid, Nesidiocoris tenuis, with biological control potential. Piece of leave of Paprika, Sesame, and cotton ball soaked with water were respectively provided to the test insects, adult mirid starved about a day, and frozen eggs of Ephestia kuehniella, were presented to them for a day and counted the number of the eggs consumed by them. The mirid fed by Sesame leave took significantly less prey than both the Paprika and the water fed one.
