Abstract
Euxoa auxiliaries (Grote) was reared successfully on a semi synthetic diet for 10 generations without any apparent change in morphology, fecundity, or egg viability. Eggs hatched in 5 days when they were incubated at 26.5 and 80% RH. The 7 larval stages obtained with this rearing method were completed in 29-33 days, and 97% of the larvae survived. The pupal stage lasted 19-24 days, and 88% emerged as adults.Keywords
