Few attempts were made to clarify the effect of aging in foraging behavior of the
aphid parasitoids. Age specific functional response has received little attention
(Pasandideh et al. 2015; Tazerouni et al. 2016). Functional response of Aphidius
matricariae showed a fluctuated pattern between II and III by aging the foraging
female (Tazerouni et al. 2016, 2017). The similar experiences by the same authors
indicated no changes in type of functional response for Praon volucre.
