Comparison of the Nymphal Development, Adult Longevity and Oviposition of the Bean Bug, Riptortus clavatus Thunberg (Hemiptera: Alydidae) in Fibrous Nylon and Glass-Tube
망사시험관 및 유리시험관에서 톱다리개미허리노린재의 약충발육, 성충수명 및 산란수를 비교하였다. 약충기간은 유리시험관(20일)보다 망사시험관(약 21일)에서 약 1일 길었는데, 이러한 차이는 주로 5령충의 발육기간에 기인되었다. 우화율은 유리시험관()보다 망사시험관()에서 높았다. 성충수명은 유리시험관보다 망사시험관에서 암컷이 약 4.1배, 수컷이 약 6배 길었다. 산란전기간은 유리시험관보다 망사시험관에서 약 1일 길었으며, 산란수는 유리시험관보다 망사시험관에서 약 3.5배 많았다. 산란지속기간은 망사 시험관에서 약 30일, 유리시험관에서 약 8일 이었다. 따라서 톱다리개미허리 노린재의 발육특성을 정확하게 구명하기 위해선 공기유통이 원활한 망사시험관을 사용하는 것이 적합할 것으로 판단되었다.
This study compared the biological characteristics, nymphal development, adult longevity, and oviposition of the bean bug, Riptortus clavatus Thunberg, in fibrous nylon and glass-tube in the insectary at and 16L:8D of photoperiod. Nymphal duration in the fibrous nylon-tube was 1 day longer than in the glass tube, the difference was attributed to the developmental duration of the fifth instar. Percent emergence in the fibrous nylon-tube was higher than in the glass tube (). In the fibrous nylon-tube, adult longevities for female and male were 4.1 times and 6.0 times higher than those in the glass tube. Preoviposition period was 1 day longer in the fibrous nylon-tube than that in the glass tube. The total number of eggs laid was 3.5 times more in the fibrous nylon-tube than in the glass tube. The oviposition duration lasted about 30 days for the bean bug in the fibrous nylon-tube and about 8 days for those in the glass. Accordingly, the fibrous nylon-tube was found more conducive than the glass tube for determining the biology of bean bug.
