Abstract

The eggs and oviposition sites of six species of predatory mirids from Nova Scotia apple orchards are described. These species are Hyaliodes harti Knight, Atractotomus mali (Meyer), Deraeocoris fasciolus Knight, Diaphnidia pellucida Uhler, Blepharidopterus angulatus (Fall), and Pilophorus perplexus D. & S. The differences between the eggs of each species are great enough to identify them in situ.
