Mass rearing technology for Litchi stinkbug egg parasitoid wasp, Anastatus fulloi and alternative host, Samia cynthia.

Litchi stink bug Tessaratoma papillosa, an invasive species, has been expanding throughout the western Taiwan. This stink bug not only reduces the yield of litchi Litchi chinensis and longan Dimocarpus longan, but also damages Koelreuteria elegans and Sapindus mukorosii that have been used for urban forestation. Furthermore, the nasty smelling defensive secretion can cause dermatitis to form on exposed skin. Anastatus fulloi is an egg parasitoid that oviposits into the stink bug's eggs and kills the host. To develop a mass production system, we demonstrated that eggs of a moth Samia cynthia can serve as a substitute host for mass producing A. fulloi. S. cynthia can be reared in all seasons, and eggs and pupal stage can keep at low temperature. This feature support the mass production of parasitoid when arise.
