Abstract
Feeding of fifth instar nymphs of Anacridium aegyptium L.on three desert plants; Calotropis procera (shrub). Pulicaria crispa (bush) and Zygophyl/un simplex (annual herb) compared with control plant (wheat-seedlings) indicate that the rate of consumption and assimilation of nymphs decreased on the desert plants as compared with wheat seedling. All nymphs fed on the desert plants stop feeding for long time before death The results indicate that the desert plants used had an antifeeding effect and also chronic toxicity. The electrophoresis analysis showed that the protein bands of the nymphs fed on control plant were 16 bands but with those
fed on the desert plants it ranged from 14 to 16 bands.
