Abstract | ||||
Identified uropodid mite deutonymphs have been attached by anal pedicels to different places of adult red palm weevil.The behaviour of hyperphorsey of phoretic dutonymph was observed. The synchronization between dutonymph of Agyptus rhyncophorus (Elbishlawi and Allam) and the life cycle of RPW were studied. Anal glands were examined and photographed by using light and scanning electron microscope, The structure of dutonymph and factors affecting attaching were determined. | ||||
