The article discusses a study which examined the impact of moisture source and diet on the development and reproduction of pirate bugs Orius thripoborus (Hesse) and Orius naivashae (Poppius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) found in South Africa. The study also investigated the effect of two factitious foods and moist honey bee pollen on developmental and reproductive parameters of the pirate bugs. It found that Orius thripoborus performed better than Orius naivashae on tested diets.
