Life table, life cycle and morphology of each stadia of Graphium evemon (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) on glodokan plant (Polyalthia longifolia Sonn.)

Glodokan plant (P. longifolia) is one of the natural food for the Graphium evemon caterpillars. It is widely distributed both along the highway and the office complex. So far there is no research on the life cycle and life table of the G. evemon on the glodokan plant. This information is important to preserve the existence of a butterfly as one of the important pollinating insects and also to determine the biotic potential of the G. evemon. The purpose of this study is to determine the life cycle and biotic potential of G. evemon based on life tables and morphology of each stage of G. evemon. The study uses rearing method and comprises 50 eggs G. evemon. The length of time and morphology of each pre-adult stages of the G. evemon was recorded. The calculations in the table are based on the life stage of the development and mortality of each stage of the development of G. evemon. The results showed that the average time of the G. evemon life cycle on glodokan plant was 38.35 ± 1.62 days. The morphology of each stage has a specific characteristic. The value of life expectancy is greater than the rate of mortality for eggs 7,18> 0,00; instar larvae I 6, 18> 0,12; instar larvae II 6,00> 0,023; instar larvae III 5,08> 0,00; instar larvae IV 4,08> 0,093; instar larvae V 3,45> 0,00; pupa 1,45> 0,051.
