Extract

An insectary method for rearing the cacao Mirids, Distantiella theobroma (Dist.) and Sahlbergella singularis Hagl., is described. Adults are caged, for oviposition, on cacao seedlings grown in baskets. When the eggs hatch, the nymphs are transferred to, and reared on, unripe pods suspended in ventilated glass cages.
