Fundamentals of Stored-Product Entomology book included lower temperature threshold (LT) estimates and degree-days (DD) required for egg to adult development of 15 species of stored-product insects. Here we give the following estimates for an additional 51 species of stored-product insects. Imura (1990) calculates estimates for many published studies and Sporleder et al. (2004) summarizes estimates from several published studies. For Sporleder (2004), lower temperature thresholds for egg, larvae and pupae, or egg and larvae-pupae are reported. Clearly, estimates varied between studies.
