Average length of life of male moths, 13.87 days; female moths, 13.24 days. 

 Maximum length of life of male moths, 34 days; female moths, 40 days. 

 Minimum length of life of male moths, 2 days; female moths, 1 day. 



LIFE CYCLE OF THE FIRST GENERATION. 



Life-cycle, stock-jar feeding method. — Table 28 gives the life cycle 

 of 177 individuals of the first generation, all of which were reared 

 from egg to moth, the larvae being fed by the stock-jar method. The 

 incubation period averaged 8.98 days, tne larval feeding period 18.21 

 days, the cocooning period 5.44 days, the pupal period 12.45 days, 

 and the life cycle 45.08 days. To this must be added 2.93 days, 

 which is the average interval between emergence of the first-brood 

 moth and egg deposition, in order to obtain the complete life cycle 

 from deposition of first-brood egg to deposition of second-brood egg. 

 This gives a complete life cycle of 48.01 days.
