Possible storage of Coccinella undecimpunctata (Col Possible storage of Coccinella undecimpunctata (Col., Coccinellidae) under low temperature and its effect on some biological characteristics A. H. Abdel-Salam and N. F. Abdel-Baky The Journal of Applied Entomology Vol. 124: 169-176
Coccinella undecimpunctata Common Name = Eleven Spotted Lady Beetle Predators of Aphids Whiteflies Weevils Biological Control Agents Cold Stored for Shipping Purposes
Why Study Cold Storage of Coccinella undecimpunctata Survival of Cold Temperatures Developmental Stages Surviving the Cold Developmental Stage Best Used for Short and Long-Term Shipping
Cold Storage Effect Egg First, Second, Third & Fourth Larval Instars Stages Used Egg First, Second, Third & Fourth Larval Instars Pupae Adults: Directly After Eclosion Without Food Five Days After Eclosion With Food Ten Days After Eclosion With Food Refrigerated At 6°C Refrigerated For 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 Days

Final Thoughts Eggs, Larval Instars & Pupae Survived Short-Term Storage, 7 Days Adult Storage More Long-Term, 45 Days Due to Diapause Simple Method for Storing Large Numbers Easy Shipping Synchronization With Insect Pest Suppress Insect Pests When Required
In Conclusion Cold Stored Fed Adults Are Most Receptive Biological Control Agents
