Abstract
Biological studies were carried out on the acarid mite, Caloglyphus berlesei (Michael) when it fed on three different types of food (dry yeast, crushed wheat and crushed maize) under laboratory conditions of 25 & 30 ºC and 70% R.H. Developmental stages and female fecundity of mites were affected by different food types and temperature where as female total immature stages lasted (10.7 &10.45), (14.12 &11.43) and (16.44 & 12.13) days at 25 & 30 ºC respectively when mites fed on dry yeast, crushed wheat and crushed maize respectively. Female and male were life cycle ,(14.3 &13.0), (17.8 &15.65) and (20.95 &17.04) days at 25 ºC when mites fed on the above mentioned diets at the some trend. Female fecundity also was affected by both food and temperature where the average number of deposited eggs and the daily rate were (297.5 &27.5), (232.1 &20.4) and (185.7 &12.3) eggs at 25 ºC, while the average number of eggs and daily rate at 30 ºC were (208.4 &21.1), (184.1 &14.4) and (162.9 &9.7)eggs when female fed on dry yeast, crushed wheat and crushed maize, respectively.
