Biological observations of T. splendens (Wiedemann) are presented [including mating, preoviposition period, oviposition, duration of oviposition period, adult longevity, immature stages, feeding behavior and prey capture and life history]. Material for the study was obtained from an established laboratory colony. This report contains new biological information, and confirmation of earlier reports. Some of these observations contrast with previous studies.
