Abstract
Studies on the endurance to starvation by the immatures of T. splendens showed that the III instar larvae survived longer than the I and II instar larvae. The IV instar larvae even in the absence of food pupated and emerged into adults. The irregular supply of food did not affect the perpetuation of the predator in the habitat.
