| Abstract | The potential of the predatory earwigs Labidura riparia (Pallas) and Euborellia annulipes (Lucas) (Dermaptera) asbiological control agents of house fly was assessed. Host preferences and effects of feeding depth were evaluated. The resultsindicated that both earwig species preferred house fly larvae rather than pupae. Host preference experiments indicated that L.riparia and E. annulipes preferred first larval instar followed by second and third larval instars, respectively. Feeding depthstudies from 0 โ" 20 cm in cattle manure found that E. annulipes consumed more larvae than L. riparia and that more larvae wereconsumed at a depth of 0 โ" 5 cm than at 10 โ" 20 cm below. In summary, two species of earwigs have the potential for controllingimmature stages of house fly in the livestock. |
