The development and reproduction of Orius sauteri reared on Thrips palmi larvae were studied at four constant temperatures, 15, 20, 25 and 30℃. Thermal constant (K) and developmental zero (T_0) for eggs and nymphs of O. sauteri were calculated at 62.1 day-degrees and 11.1℃ and 180.8 day-degrees and 10.3℃, respectively. Egg mortality rate was always 7.1% or less. There was no significant difference in survival rate during the nymphal stage among the four temperatures. Longevity of female and male adults was greatest at 15℃ and shortest at 30℃. Female lifetime fecundity reached a maximum at 25℃. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (γ_m) was highest at 30℃.
