The mean incubation period of GLH eggs was 8.24 d-female nymphs developed in 23.2 d, and the male in 21.9 d. The ovipositional period was 4.9 and females laid an average 117 eggs. Males lived 14.4 d and females 19.5 d. A GLH generation is about 34 d and net reproductive rate is 101.97. The calculated capacity for population increase was 0.136. The figure shows that GLH can live 46 d in the absence of natural enemies. The fertility curve (mx) gives the mean number of eggs laid/day and shows that oviposition peaked 33 d after hatching
