Abstract
Storage of Chrysoperla carnea Steph. eggs was possible for up to 20 da ys at 8-degrees-C without loss of viability. Emergence of adults from pupae stored for up to 15 days at this temperature was 74.8 %. The sto rage of eggs and pupae late in development increased the length of sto rage as well as hatchability and adult emergence.
