The amount of larve and pupa mortality by feeding on natural feeds were %20 and %25, respectively.life span of adults was 93 days.The number of laid eggs by female was 112 ,on average.The amount of adult creation from eggs was %59. The second step of research was perform on training of insect different stages on artifical cultures.no one of insect stages was not feeding on artifical culture,completely.
