As suggested by Vinson (1998), there may be at least seven factors namely: Changes in Physical Recognition Cues, Such as Shape, Color, or Size Of the physical recognition cues mentioned, shape has been implicated. An example is provided by Strand and Vinson (1983b), who reported that the eggs of Heliothis virescens (F) are nearly spherical when oviposited, but become more conical with time and these conical shaped eggs are rejected by Telenomus heliothidis Ashmead. Pak (1988) also noted the importance of host shape in rejection.

V. B. Vinson utilization and allocation of the resources to various aspects of the organism’s life stile. Such a background can provide some insight into an organism’s evolutionary biology and the various life strategies. As noted above, the nutritional ecology of an organism involves many factors and deciding where to begin can be a challenge. For this reason it may be important to contrast the basic nutritional ecology of the different arthropod feeding strategies. For some arthropods the decision to locate and feed on an item is the decision of the arthropod that will be feeding.
