Correspondence author Email: [email protected] Abstract This study was carried out at Melkassa Agricultural Research Center in the sericulture and apiculture research laboratory during 2012 and 2013G.C. cropping seasons. Both tender and matured castor leafs were obtained from Melkassa Agricultural Research Center, sericulture research field to investigate the effects on castor feeding silkworms. The treatments consist of young and late age rearing of silkworm. During young age (1st and 2nd instars) rearing, the tender leaf and late age (3rd, 4th and 5th instars) rearing, matured castor leaf were dipped in the water and excess water was drained out by shaking and fed to the silkworms as per the treatments. Feeding the 1st and 2nd instars silkworms (young age) with daily once (8 am), twice (8 am and 8 pm) and thrice (8 am, 2 pm and 9 pm) with tender wet leaf. While at late age (3rd, 4th and 5th instars) the silkworms were fed with daily twice (8 am & 8pm), thrice (8am, 2pm and 8 pm) and four times (8am, 12 noon 4 pm and 9 pm) with matured castor leaf.

The moth exists only in captivity, having been artificially selected from a wild progenitor, generally recognized as Samia canningi (Hutton) of the Himalayas. In the taxonomic and sericultural literature, there has been considerable confusion and inconsistency regarding the correct authorship of the name Phalaena ricini as originally described. The author of P. ricini has most often been cited as Boisduval, but other researchers have attributed authorship to Anderson, Jones, Donovan, or Hutton. The original description was located, thus revealing that P. ricini should be credited to Sir William Jones. In turn, the date of publication fixes the nameP. ricini as the senior subjective synonym for both the wild and cultivated entities, thereby forcing Saturnia canningi into synonymy. Key words: Assam, eri silk, ericulture, India, Sir William Jones, wild silk INTRODUCTION 2003) conserved the binomials of 17 species of wild animals, including Bombyx mandarina (Moore), which was eventually The eri silkmoth (Fig.

  • Control of Discontinuous Gas Exchange in Samia Cynthia: Effects of Atmospheric Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Moisture

Adaptive hypotheses which have obtained experimental support include a water savings mechanism for living in dry environments (hygric hypothesis), a reduction in oxidative damage due to a high-performance oxygen delivery system (oxidative damage hypothesis), and the need for steep intratracheal partial pressure gradients to exchange gases under the hypercapnic and/or hypoxic conditions potentially encountered in subterranean environments (chthonic hypothesis). However, few experimental studies have simultaneously assessed multiple competing hypotheses within a strong inference framework. Here, we present such a study at the species level for a diapausing moth pupa, Samia cynthia. Switching gas conditions from controlled normoxic, normocapnic and intermediate humidity to either high or low oxygen, high or low moisture, elevated carbon dioxide, or some combination of these, revealed that DGE was abandoned under all conditions except high oxygen, and high or low gas moisture levels.

We carried out three choice experiments with 6116 nocturnal lepidop- teran individuals (95 species, 7 families, 32 075 counts), each replicated 105 times dur- ing the seasons of 2 years. Moths were released indoors at the centre of a 10 × 10 m area with different lamps placed at each corner. 2. In experiment 1, lamps emitted ultraviolet (UV) (peak at 365 nm), blue (450 nm), green (520 nm) or cool white (450 and 520 nm) radiation. In experiment 2, UV was replaced by red (640 nm). In experiment 3, we used UV and three mixed radiation lamps of different emission intensities (365–520 nm). 3. We applied a linear mixed effect model to test for differences in attraction to the light sources. 4. Among all counts, 12.2% (males) and 9.2% (females) were attracted to a lamp. Among the lamp counts, 84% were made at the UV lamp in experiment 1.

    EENY 478 Cecropia Moth, Cecropia Silk Moth, Robin Moth, Hyalophora cecropia Linnaeus (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Saturniinae: Attacini)1 Geoffrey R. Gallice2 Introduction The cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia Linnaeus, is among the most spectacular of the North American Lepidoptera. It is a member of the Saturniidae, a family of moths prized by collectors and nature lovers alike for their large size and extremely showy appearance. Adults are occasionally seen attracted to lights during spring and early summer, a common habit of many moths. It is unclear exactly why these insects visit lights, although a number of theories exist. One such theory posits that artificial lights interfere with the moths’ internal Figure 1.

Used with permission. night-flying insects, use light from the moon to find their way in the dark of night. Since the moon is effectively cecropia (Linnaeus, 1758) at optical infinity, its distant rays enter the moth’s eye in diana (Castiglioni, 1790) parallel, making it an extremely useful navigational tool.

To access permit conditions, click here. Never purchase living specimens without having a disposition strategy in place. The USDA considers these moths to be a plant pest. We hold a permit to transport these pests for some states, however, the following states require an end-user permit in order to receive moth cocoons: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, HI, ID, IA, LA, MD, MA, MT, NE, NV, NM, NC, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, VA. As a condition for transporting these organisms, we are required to notify the end user of the following information: For no reason shall any of these plant pests be released into the environment. These organisms may not be indigenous to your area and, if released, they could adversely affect your local environment. Primary Hazard Considerations • Always wash your hands before and after handling pupae or adult moths. • Moths can fly away. Be careful when opening their cages. • Moths have scales on their wings that will fall off and make a dust-like material; this dust is an allergen to some people. Availability • All moth pupae are wild-collected at the end of October. Pupae will remain viable in the refrigerator for at least six months and up to one year.

  • Diverse Evidence That Antheraea Pernyi (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Is Entirely of Sericultural Origin
    VAN DER POORTEN: Immatures of Satyrinae in Sri Lanka PEIGLER: Sericultural origin of A. pernyi TROP. LEPID. RES., 22(2): 93-99, 2012 93 DIVERSE EVIDENCE THAT ANTHERAEA PERNYI (LEPIDOPTERA: SATURNIIDAE) IS ENTIRELY OF SERICULTURAL ORIGIN Richard S. Peigler Department of Biology, University of the Incarnate Word, 4301 Broadway, San Antonio, Texas 78209-6397 U.S.A. email: [email protected] and Research Associate, McGuire Center for Lepidoptera & Biodiversity, Gainesville, Florida 32611, U.S.A. Abstract - There is a preponderance of evidence that the tussah silkmoth Antheraea pernyi was derived thousands of years ago from the wild A. roylei. Historical, sericultural, morphological, cytogenetic, and taxonomic data are cited in support of this hypothesis. This explains why A. pernyi is very easy to mass rear, produces copious quantities of silk in its cocoons, and the oak tasar “hybrid”crosses between A. pernyi and A. roylei reared in India were fully fertile through numerous generations. The case is made that it is critical to conserve populations and habitats of the wild progenitor as a genetic resource for this economically important silkmoth. Key words: China, Chinese oak silkmoth, India, sericulture, temperate tasar silk, tussah silk, wild silk INTRODUCTION THE EVIDENCE Numerous examples are known for which domesticated Cytogenetic, physiological, and molecular evidence. animals or cultivated plants differ dramatically from their wild Studies investigating the cytogenetics of these moths reported ancestral species, and frequently the artificially-selected entity the chromosome numbers for A. roylei to be n=31 and for A. carries a separate scientific name from the one in nature. In some pernyi to be n=49, with n=31 being the modal (ancestral) number cases where the wild and domesticated animals are considered for most saturniids (Belyakova & Lukhtanov 1994, 1996, and to be the same species, and the latter were named first, references cited therein).

P. 30700, Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8488-7782. Abstract: Interest in bioenergetic crops, such as the castor oil plant Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), for production of biodiesel has increased in recent years. In this paper, phytophagous arthropods, their natural enemies and floral visitors associated with this plant in the world are reviewed. Despite its insecticidal properties, arthropods have been reported feeding on R. communis plants. The arthropod pests of R. communis damage all parts of the plant, including the seeds, where some toxic compounds are even more concentrated. In the scientific databases, we found reports of 193 arthropods associated to R. communis in different parts of the world. This information obtained in the scientific databases was concentrated in a database and analyzed according to the coevolutive hypothesis, which allows us to predict that the greatest wealth and abundance of phytogenic arthropods is found in the center of origin by R.
