<strong>Pest</strong> Information<br />

Pupa<br />

Siberian silk moth pupa develops in one month (EPPO, 2005) but shorter<br />

periods <strong>of</strong> 17-18 days have been reported (Liu and Shih, 1957). The transition<br />

<strong>of</strong> larva to pupa takes on average 3 days (Liu and Shih, 1957). Pupal<br />

developmental time in the SaSM is between 19 and 26 days (Inoue and<br />

Koizumi, 1958).<br />

Dendrolimus superans<br />

Adult<br />

<strong>New</strong>ly emerged SSM females will lay eggs for 7-10 days. Average lifespan <strong>of</strong><br />

mated females is 9 days and that <strong>of</strong> unmated females is 13 days (Liu and Shih,<br />

1957).<br />

Larva<br />

The SaSM develop in one or two year-cycles with 6-7 larval instars for oneyear<br />

cycle and 7 to 8 instars for a two-year cycle (Inoue and Koizumi, 1958).<br />

Total larval developmental time for a one-year cycle is between 340 to 360<br />

days and 676 to 690 days for a two-year cycle. Larval developmental time for<br />

one and two-year cycle is shown in Table 2-5 on page 2-29.<br />
