The use of high 20.5cm diameter acrylic tube and is attached with cardboard, that the rearing device is loaded with fresh pupae, this fresh pupal weight of 116g, a total of 8120 grains. Cardboard with different hole were 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, and the emergence rate and parasitism rates were 90.6% and 97.8% for control, 91.7% and 97.8% for 2cm, 94.7% and 98.6% for 3cm, 94.0% and 99.0% for 4cm, 92.5% and 96.2% for 5cm. Use this rearing device to replace the petri dish for parasitoid pupae of parasitism. Parasitism at 4 days later, rearing device could be removed and the gauze covered. No longer placed in plastic boxes that it does not produce water vapor, and it does not affect the emergence rate of parasitoid pupae. if acrylic tube high from 5.5cm to 9cm, but diameter 20.5cm is unchanged. And each side of the acrylic tube open a vents : 3.0cm high, 10.0cm long, and gauze mesh of 32 mesh. Which could be more breathable air, the parasitoid pupae increased parasitism of about 10% at the same time. When the rearing device stack the 3-layer, parasitoids pupea in different locations on the emergence rate and parasitism rates were at 92.4% and 98.3% for the upper, 91.8% and 97.9% for middle, 91.2% and 98.3% for lower. After the rearing device be stacked, it could reproduce the same time feeding and spawning parasite. Therefore, the integration operation could be achieved, that it could be benefits for parasitoids increased 10%, and about 60% time saving and more space-saving.
