Exigências térmicas de estágios imaturos de Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Abstract: -The rearing of Galleria mellonella L. in laboratory is important for multiplication of entomopathogenic nematodes, mandatory for biological control studies. The objective of this study incubation for development of eggs and, secondly, using circular-aluminum manifolds for development of larvae and pupae. The time necessary for development of the immature stages decreased with higher temperatures. Incubation periods lasted 13.4 days at 22ºC, 8.3 at 27ºC and 6.8 days at 32ºC, while periods for larvae developmen… Show more

“…They can be maintained in science research laboratories with simple and inexpensive equipment (Fig 2A). G. mellonella favours higher temperatures of 29-33˚C [11], and the lifespan of G. mellonella can often be altered by adjusting the temperature of their living environment, where a shorter lifespan is observed at higher temperatures [12,13]. However, maintaining G. mellonella at a temperature higher than room temperature may require special instrument, such as a temperature-controlled incubator, which might not be feasible for storing G. mellonella glass jars.…”
