Biology and Predation Efficiency of the Spider Oecobius tembili Camrage (Araneida: Oecobiidae) Fed on the Cotton Leaf Worm Spodoptera litoralis (Boisd.)
The spider Oecobius tembli was reared on first instar larvae of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera litoralis (Boisd.). Incubation period averaged 7.3days for both sexes at 30"C. Both pass through five spiderlings before reaching adult stage. The life cycle averaged 52.6 and 47.8 days for female and male, respectively. Oviposition period averaged 4.5 days, during which female deposited an average of 1.5 egg sacs. The Total number of consumed prey averaged 269.4 ard230.3 individuals for spider female and male, respectively.
