  abstract = {{W}estern flower thrips, {F}rankliniella occidentalis ({P}ergande) ({T}hysanoptera: {T}hripidae), is one of the most significant pests of commercial vegetables, fruits, and ornamental crops worldwide, causing both direct and indirect damage. {C}hemical control is the most common methodology for dealing with {F}. occidentalis, but this pest lays its eggs inside plant tissues, and adults and larvae feed in concealed locations, which can make chemical control of this pest difficult. {A}s an alternative to chemical control, research attention has been focused on biological control through inoculative augmentation using anthocorid flower bugs of the genus {O}rius ({H}emiptera: {A}nthocoridae). {A}lthough {O}rius insidiosus ({S}ay) ({H}emiptera: {A}nthocoridae) is an effective predator used worldwide for suppressing populations of western flower thrips, its use on pepper crops in {U}ruguay ({S}alto) has not achieved favorable results to date. {T}aking into account that {O}. insidiosus can supplement its diet by feeding on pollen and plant tissues, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of pepper fruits compared to bean pods, a vegetable substrate widely used for multiplying this predator, on the duration of the embryonic and nymph developmental stages, survival, fertility, and longevity of this species. {S}ince {O}nus tristicolor ({W}hite) ({H}emiptera: {A}nthocoridae) is present also in the horticultural region of {S}alto, this species was incorporated into the study in order to evaluate if significant differences exist between these 2 species. {W}hen biological parameters were measured, pepper fruits proved to be a more appropriate substrate than bean for the 2 {O}rius species studied. {W}e reject the hypothesis that an antibiosis effect would explain the difficulties for the establishment of {O}. insidiosus in the greenhouses of {S}alto. {T}hese results show the need to examine other factors contributing to low establishment of these predatory bugs in greenhouses in {U}ruguay.},
