(Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) pupae without plant; T. molitor pupae plus Eucalyptus cloeziana plants; T. molitor pupae plus Eucalyptus urophylla plants; T. molitor pupae plus guava plants (Psidium guajava) were analyzed. Haemolymph protein content and fat body morphology were analyzed in samples of B. tabidus males 15 and 21 days old. The haemolymph protein content of B. tabidus males was not affected by the diet or age of this predator. Adult of B. tabidus males had thophocytes with similar morphological aspects in all diets and ages analyzed, but they were twice bigger in those predator fed on T. molitor and plants of E. urophylla than with the other diets. The histochemical tests, proteins and carbohydrates showed weak reaction of the fat body of B. tabidus males with all diets and ages. These results are discussed in relation to the effect of plant supplementation in predator diets.  aControle biológico  aNutrição1 aZANUNCIO, J. C.1 aLACERDA, M. C.1 aRIBEIRO, R. C.1 aSERRÃO, J.
