Abstract
The eggs of seven species of locally occurring coccinellids were reared at constant temperatures. The survival of eggs to hatching, rate, and thermal requirements for hatching were determined. The results were used to evaluate the importance of thermal adaptation of coccinellids in selecting them as biological control agents and in determining the relative species composition of locally occurring faunas of coccinellids.
