Abstract
Thrips are one of the important group of insect pests causing significant damage to a wide variety of economically important plants by way of feeding, breeding and transmitting plant diseases. Among the thrips species, Megalurothrips distalis (Karny) may be controlled by using other insect predator like anthocorid bug, Orius maxidentex Ghauri. The anthocorid bug when reared on Megalurothrips distalis at 24±1º C in laboratory condition showed an average feeding efficiency of about 150 thrips larvae per individuals during the life cycle period of about 30 days. Besides the predatory potential, certain observations on the biology of predatory species have been discussed.
