Method for quick breeding hepialus ovum on qinghai tibet plateau

Abstract

This invention involves a method of rapid propagating and breeding the Hepialus egg in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The method included establishing greenhouse Hepialus captive market in Hepialus insects suitable habitat in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the alpine habitats; lowering natural enemies hazards of Hepialus through the control of soil and the air temperature and humidity in the greenhouse, and promoting herbs and / or shrubs inside the greenhouse Hepialus captive market to maintain good plant growth and form developed vegetation tender roots system; meanwhile through the releasing of Hepialus eggs, larvae and / or pupae, upgrading captive Hepialus quantity and density; after Hepialus experiencing a complete life cycle of generation, the Hepialus larvae grows from instar 1 to the instar ranges from 6-8 only needs 390d~420d, and in May of the following year they pupate, and between June ~ August finish eclosion and grow to imagoes, adult Hepialus can be caught massively and their fertilized eggs after mating can be harvested too. The harvested Hepialus egg can be used as worm seed of Hepialus for artificial breeding.
