Bhattacharya, A., Sushil, S.N., Mishra, Y.D., Jaiswal, A.K., & Sharma, K.K. 1998 Effect of UV light on eggs of Eublemma amabilis Moore (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).. Insect Environment 4: 15-16.

Notes: One- to 3-day-old eggs of Eublemma amabilis, a serious predator of lac insects (Kerria lacca), were exposed to ultraviolet radiation in a closed chamber at 55 cm from a 30-watt light source for 5, 10, 20 or 25 min. Percentage mortality ranged from 24.07 to 90.99 after 5 and 25 min exposure, respectively, as compared to 6.78 in the control. These findings may be used for the rearing of egg parasitoids in the laboratory.
