Abstract:

The egg reduction of the Colorado beetle is not dependent on density. The number of eggs destroyed by predators in the period of the maximal egg density is lower than for minimal densities. There is no correlation between the number of aphidophages and the egg reduction. The destruction of the Colorado beetle eggs is a hunger-dependent reaction, aphidophages devour eggs of the Colorado beetle because of the deterioration of their alimentary conditions, i.e. when the density of aphids is low.
