The obtained data show that, the highest numbers of C. aonidum were recorded in October with total numbers 185 & 195 adult on Navel and Balady orange at average temperature 23.7 C° and relative humidity 74.4% in the first year and 196 & 213 insect in the second year when average temperature and relative humidity were 23.1 C° and 75.9% , respectively. Meanwhile , the highest number of Ch. aonidum at Qalub district was recorded in October with total number 160 and 169 adult on Navel and Balady orange at average temperature 25.8 C° and relative humidity 60.1% in the first year while , in the second year , the total numbers of C. aonidum were 174 & 192 adult on Navel and Balady orange at average temperature 25.4 C° and relative humidity 62.4%.
