In the lowlands, all instars are abundant in spring becoming scarce from July until the end of the warm period of the year; they are absent in winter. In June, most C. septempunctata adults migrate to mountainous aestivo-hibernation sites. Measurements of the duration of pre-oviposition period in females taken monthly from the summit of Mount Kitheron in central Greece (1993-1994) and transferred to laboratory conditions of high temperature (25{\textdegree}C), long day (16 hrs light/24 hrs), and presence of aphids, indicated that the C. septempunctata females were in diapause during July and August. The diapause gradually terminated from late August to late October and was followed by a period of quiescence extending from November to March of the following year. During the summer diapause, arrest of ovarian development was indicated by immaturity of the ovaries in all sampled females and the complete absence of vitellogenic resorption signs. Also, adults were found with enlarged fat bodies, and the median duration of preoviposition period in females transferred to the above laboratory conditions was 90 days in early July and 82 days in early August. During the period of winter quiescence, arrest of ovarian development was characterized in most samples by immaturity of the ovaries in all females and, in some samples, by the presence of a few females with signs of vitellogenic resorption. In winter, adults were found containing fat body reserves of different levels, and the median preoviposition period of females transferred to optimal breeding conditions was 29 days in early November and 16 days in mid January.}, keywords = {Aestivo-hibernation, Coccinella septempunctata, Coleoptera, Summer diapause, Winter quiescence}, author = {Katsoyannos, P. and Kontodimas, D.C. and Stathas, G.J.} } @article {7495, title = {Establishment of Harmonia axyridis on citrus and some data on its phenology in Greece}, journal = {PhytoparasiticaPhytoparasitica}, volume = {25}, number = {3}, year = {1997}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 10Export Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Aksyutova, L.N., Gul{\textquoteright}dyaeva, T.I., Insect enemies of orchard pests in the Amur region (1977) Zashch.

In 1994, insectary-reared adults were released in 11 citrus orchards in four citrus-growing areas of Greece. Between May 19 and June 8, 1994, H. axyridis was recovered from a total of seven localities in three of these areas. This species was established on orange, mandarin and sour orange trees heavily infested with Toxoptera aurantii, Aphis spiraecola and A. gossypii; its absence from the remaining four localities may have been the result of low prey densities. Twenty-three days after the initial releases, H. axyridis larvae comprised 57.9\% and 83.3\%, respectively, of the aphidophagous coccinellid larval populations in two localities (on Chios Island). In samples taken at Leonidion 43 days after the introduction release, both adult and larval populations of H. axyridis represented approximately one-third of aphidophagous coccinellid adults and larvae found, whereas the indigenous Adalia bipunctata comprised about one-half of the population. In cages placed outside the Athens laboratory, H. axyridis completed four overlapping generations annually; average longevities of 56.2, 66.8, 78.9 and 102.2 days, respectively, were recorded for the successive generations. Adults of the 3rd and 4th generations overwintered, giving rise to the following year{\textquoteright}s 1st generation. Oviposition began in April and emergence of 1st generation adults occurred in mid-May. The egg-laying activity of the females throughout the warm period of the year indicates that H. axyridis does not dispause in summer.
