Abstract: The omnivorous predators Campylomma chinensis Schuh are common natural enemies in South China. The mirid bug predators were reared on various kinds of food in the laboratory under the conditions at temperature of (25±1) ℃, relative humidity of 75%-85% and photoperiods 14L﹕10D. C. chinensis could not complete nymphal development on eggplant leaves or 10% honey. However, they could complete larval development on a diet of Thrips palmi plus eggplant leaves, Bemisia tabaci plus eggplant leaves, Aphis gossypii plus eggplant leaves, Teranychus cinnabarinus plus eggplant leaves, A. gossypii, eggs of Corcyra cephalonica plus eggplant leaves, or eggs of C. cephalonica. With regard to development time and survivorship of the bug, T. palmi plus eggplant leaves and B. tabaci plus eggplant leaves were the best two diets. C. chinensis females reared on T. palmi plus eggplant leaves produced more offspring than a diet of A. gossypii plus eggplant. The results indicate that T. palmi plus eggplant is a potential diet for mass rearing of C. chinensis.
