Diurnal and seasonal occurrence, feeding habits and mating behavior of Maladera matrida adults in Israel

Abstract: 

Adult populations of Maladera matrida Argaman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), a beetle highly injurious to agricultural crops, were studied in the coastal plain of Israel from 1985 to 1988. There were two generations annually. Adults emerged in March, April or May and disappeared in October or November. The beetles are on the wing, mate, and feed at twilight and in the dark. Feeding and mating behavior, sex ratio, and preferred food plants were studied. © 1989, Springer Science + Business Media B.V.. All rights reserved.
