However, its developmental information and proper identification as well as precise photographs of each developmental stages have not been well studied and recorded. Thus, the goal of this research was to establish the developmental characteristics of P. quatuordecimpunctata. Life history was conducted in laboratory conditions at an average temperature 28 u00b0C u00b1 1.2 an average 65 u00b1 5% relative humidity (RH), and a light: dark ratio (12L : 12D).
