Abstract
Dictyla monotropidia is a sap-tapping insect that attacks plantations oí youlng laurel (Cordia alliodora). Its survivorship was evaluated with several rearing methods. Petri plates produce the best results if sufficient plant material was available. With other methods the lea ves persisted longer but the survivorship of the insects was lower. The duration of the life cycle was 36.4 days, with five instars. In each flight the insect flew at least 10 m in the direction of prevailing windsComments
