. A large and well-ventilated cage and medium humidity of 60-80% with a daily spray of water have proven to provide appropriate climatic conditions for a good nymphal development and successful ecdysis. While the F1-generation was very sturdy with few losses among the nymphs, the F2-generation has proven very difficult to maintain with immense losses during the first nymphal instar and frequent losses of nymphs throughout the proceeding stages. This might relate to the use of alternative foodplants in captivity but this hypothesis cannot be evaluated, since too little guava was available for experimental series in breeding conditions in Europe. It has also been observed that every kind of change of the climatic circumstances or breeding cage directly resulted in losses of 30-50% of the nymphs.
