Abstract

The aphid parasitoid Walker is an important biological control agent against many aphid species. In this study, we examined whether the rearing host aphid species (the pea aphid, and the grain aphid, ) affect the performance of . We found that -reared showed a significantly larger body size (body length and hind tibia length) and shorter developmental time than -reared . There was no difference in the sex ratio between them. The longevity of -reared was also significantly longer than that of -reared . Furthermore, -reared presented stronger parasitic capacity and starvation resistance than -reared . In addition, host aphid alteration experiments showed that only takes two generations to adapt to its new host. Taken together, these results revealed that is a better alternative host aphid for mass-rearing and releasing of . The body size plasticity of is also discussed.
