Abstract

Pardosa astrigera is a species of spider that plays an important role in controlling crops pests but is at risk due to human agricultural practices. To optimize laboratory rearing, we developed specialized diets and rearing containers for both mother spiders and spiderlings. The maximum survival to adulthood was achieved with a diet of Drosophila melanogaster, Acyrthosiphon pisum and Aphis gossypii. Spiderlings fed an artificial milk diet, consisting of milk, egg yolk, and honey, had a 33% survival rate until the 5th life stage. Increasing the rearing space using 250 mL plastic cups improved survival (66%) compared to 50 mL jars (38%). The findings of this study offer pivotal technical support for delving deeper into the biological traits, dietary necessities, and reproductive processes of spiders. Furthermore, these insights can serve as a valuable reference for the artificial cultivation of other beneficial insects, thereby facilitating the enhancement of biological control strategies.

黄花蜘蛛饲养条件的丰富（蜘蛛目：雪蜘蛛科）

astrigera是一种蜘蛛，在控制作物害虫方面起着重要作用，但由于人类的农业实践而面临风险。为了优化实验室饲养，我们为母蜘蛛和幼蜘蛛开发了专门的饲料和饲养容器。以黑腹果蝇（Drosophila melanogaster）、食蚜蝇（Acyrthosiphon pisum）和棉蚜（Aphis gossypii）为食，成虫存活率最高。饲喂由牛奶、蛋黄和蜂蜜组成的人工乳饲料的蜘蛛在第5个生命阶段前的存活率为33%。使用250毫升的塑料杯增加饲养空间，与50毫升的罐子（38%）相比，存活率提高了66%。这项研究的发现为深入研究蜘蛛的生物学特性、饮食需求和繁殖过程提供了关键的技术支持。此外，这些见解可为其他益虫的人工养殖提供有价值的参考，从而促进生物防治策略的加强。
