Abstract
Mass rearing of beneficial organisms on the natural host is usually very expensive. For this reason, easier hosts to cultivate are sought for reducing production costs; however, they may lose their effectiveness in the field. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the discrimination capacity of the Jaliscoa hunteri parasitoid (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on its natural host (Anthonomus eugenii Cano) or a factitious one (Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius). Essays were carried out in artificial oviposition units in the laboratory by using wild females of J. hunteri collected in field and females from a colony of 13 generations raised on a factitious host. The origin of the females used in the research did not affect the oviposition preference and the feeding on the host; however, wild and laboratory females preferred the natural host over the factitious one.
