All feeding developmental stages of\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    consumed\n                    <jats:italic>S. scimitus<\/jats:italic>\n                    eggs and larvae; however, they did not kill\n                    <jats:italic>S. scimitus<\/jats:italic>\n                    deutonymphs or later developmental stages. Few\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    females killed\n                    <jats:italic>S. scimitus<\/jats:italic>\n                    protonymphs, whereas other developmental stages of\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    did not kill these protonymphs. Interestingly, the propensity of\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    females to eat heterospecific eggs was not affected by the starvation period. However, their predation on heterospecific larvae increased with increasing starvation period up to 48\u00a0h and then stabilized.\n                    <jats:italic>Blattisocius mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    females, males, or deutonymphs showed a greater propensity towards heterospecific larvae compared to eggs across all the tested starvation periods. Notably, the proportion of\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    protonymphs that ate heterospecific eggs was significantly higher than that of other stages, and males had a significantly greater tendency to prey on heterospecific larvae relative to other stages. When given a choice, all life stages of\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    clearly distinguished between conspecific and heterospecific eggs, preferring to prey on conspecific eggs. In contrast, when selecting between conspecific and heterospecific larvae, they preferred to prey upon heterospecific larvae. This study suggests that\n                    <jats:italic>B. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    may interact with\n                    <jats:italic>S. scimitus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and feed on their eggs and larvae.
