Life cycle and determination of larval instars of Leucinodes orbonalis guenee (Lepidoptera : Crambidae)
The eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee is a significant and destructive pest of eggplant causing considerable damage to shoot and fruits in South and Southeast Asian countries including Malaysia. Therefore, it is important to understanding the life cycle if this species in o...

The eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee is a significant and destructive pest of eggplant causing considerable damage to shoot and fruits in South and Southeast Asian countries including Malaysia. Therefore, it is important to understanding the life cycle if this species in order to implement the best management strategy. The objective of this study was to investigate the life cycle L. orbonalis. The result on the biology of L. orbonalis recorded that the incubation period was 5.5±0.09 days; the total larval period was 12.07±0.19 days; and underwent five larval instars stages which are characterized by the size of the cephalic capsule.
