<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 />
