The nymphal development of Orius majusculus a predatory anthocorid bug, when reared on four aphid species at 25+/-1 deg C, 75+/-5% RH and a photoperiod of 16L:8D was examined. The shortest nymphal development time on the prey was reported on Phorodon humuli - 13.8 days, and Aphis schneideri - 14.46 days, while the longest nymphal development time was on Aphis pomi - 15.3 days and Dysaphis plantaginea - 15.33 days. The nymphal mortality on the tested prey varied from 0 % in P. humuli to 14.3 % in D. plantaginea.
