Laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the life cycle of rice moth Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) on sorghum grains based growth media. Life parameters viz., larval, pupal and total developmental period, adult emergence and sex ratio were evaluated. The larval period was the shortest in first and third instars and longest in sixth instar. The adult emergence observed was 56.66% with 49.99% female moths.
