1. Host feeding significantly contributes to the reduction of the population of the target pest. For example, in the field, Tetrastichus asparagi Crawford killed up to 71% of its host's eggs by host feeding (Johnston, 1915). Similarly, Metaphycus helvolus (Compere) has been recorded killing 55% of its host, Saissetia oleae Bernard, through host feeding (DeBach, 1943). Also, for Trichogramma turkestanica Meyer, host feeding on eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller caused half of the total egg mortality;Mi;Eretmocerus mundus Mercet (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) (Foltyn and Gerling, 1985), and Eretmocerus hayati Zolnerowich and Rose (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae),1950
2. Using a 1:2 wasp : host egg ratio, released the parasitoid on lychee trees against T. paillosa and caused 74 to 86% parasitism of the pest. Antheraea pernyi is suitable for large-scale rearing of many egg parasitoids, including Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura, Chouioia cunea Yang, and Anastatus spp. The technology for mass production of A. pernyi eggs is mature, inexpensive, and operationally simple, the process yields parasitoids of superior quality;Li;A. pernyi eggs, a larger host, it was 87,1966
