     Our results indicated that the performance of H. oblita was optimal at moderate temperatures (20°C かつ 25°C), and 25°C is considered as the optimal temperature for reproduction with insects exhibiting the shortest preoviposition period, 60% of the adult life was spent in oviposition, and most importantly, the most eggs were laid at this temperature.
