摘要： The litchi stink bug,Tessaratoma papillosa(Drury) (Hemiptera: Tessaratomidae), is a serious pest in the longan and litchi orchards in China. At present, the control ofT. papillosais heavily based on the use of insecticides, and the environmentally-friendly alternative strategies are urgently needed. The praying mantis,Hierodula patellifera(Serville, 1839) (Mantodea: Mantidae) andT. papillosacoexist in orchards. We assessed the potential ofH. patelliferaadults serving as a bio-control agent againstT. papillosaby observing the predatory behavior of the mantis when the bugs were offered at different densities and different developmental stages under laboratory condition. The results showed thatH. patelliferaadults could be an effective biological control agent againstT. papillosaas it exhibited Holling type II and type III functional response in the laboratory. Its consumption rates of prey increased with an increase in the density of prey offered but its search efficiency declined. The proportions of 1st -4th instarT. papillosanymphs consumed byH. patelliferawere higher than the other stages. Our results indicated thatH. patelliferacan be an effective biocontrol agent ofT. papillosa, and these findings can guide the mass production efforts of this mantis.
