| Research Abstract |
The zoophytophagous mirid Pilophorus typicus (Heteroptera: Miridae) feeds on animal foods such as Benisia tabaci and plant foods such as pepper, eggplant and bean. In this study, not only animal foods but also plants foods were offered to the zoophytophagous mirid, and the developmental time, survival, orientation behavior were investigated. The development of zoophytophagous mirid strongly depend on the nutrition of animal foods, but the orientation was affected by the plant species.
