The results show that P. gutifera preferred to lay overwintering eggs in tea branches with diameter of (0.23±0.04)cm. The mean length of oviposition scar damaged on tea branch was (1.36±0.59)cm, and the damage rates (13.35%) of tea branch in Maanshan tea garden (managed extensively and more host plants around) was significantly higher than others. The results also indicate that the developmental duration of overwintering eggs decreased with the increase of temperature. The developmental duration of the overwintering eggs was (28.75±7.03)d at 28℃. The initial hatching time of nymph was earlier and the hatching rate was higher at 28℃. The linear relationship between the temperature and the developmental rate of overwintering eggs was y=0.001 9x–0.022, and the developmental threshold temperature was 11.58℃. The effective accumulated temperature was 526.32 d·℃. This study provided a theoretical basis for prediction and control strategies of the overwintering population of this pest.
