Abstract

The eggs of C. cephalonica could be stored for 60 days at 6.5–7.0°C where as, larvae and pupae could be stored for 45 days at 15°C. The temperature of 6.5–7.O°C for eggs and 15°C for larvae and pupae proved to be an ideal condition for prolonged storage of the C. cephalonica without hampering their survival rate.
