Brief Report of an Artificial Rearing Method for Paragus quadri-fasciatus Meigen

Abstract

Description

The four-striped small syrphid fly, Paragus quadri-fasciatus Meigen, is one important kind of natural enemy of aphids. Since 1983 we have studied the utilization of this natural enemy. We selected perennial grasses (of two to three years life span), which host aphids. In the first year we planted the above-mentioned grasses and in the second year we raised the syrphid fly. Details of the method are described as follows.
