Abstract
Aphid parasitoids are small insects that play an important role in the control of aphids, insect pests that damages agricultural crops. The objective of this research was to study the biology and reproductive capacity of the aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus testaceipes Cresson. The study was divided into two parts including the study its biology and the study of its reproductive capacity consisting of fecundity study and the study of oviposition capacity. The results showed that L. testaceipes was solitary endoparasitoid. The ages of larva stage, pupa stage, and adult stage of male and female were 3.53, 3.37, 3.47, and 3.93 days, respectively. L. testaceipes produced a maximum of 307.29 eggs at 4 days of age. Egg production tended to decrease with increasing age. Throughout its lifespan, it produced between 150-300 eggs. It was also found that throughout its lifespan, 2.67 eggs were laid, with the highest egg laying at 1 and 2 days of age. Those eggs were laid 1 egg/time.
