Abstract

Plastic-foam cups with plastic lids were found to be more suitable for rearing larvae of the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea Drury, than other types of containers tested. These cups are inexpensive, lightweight, rigid, and translucent; and they protect the contents from rapid fluctuations in temperature.
