This invention involves a method of propagating and breeding the Hepialus egg in Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau utilizing geoheat
hot spring. The method included establishing
greenhouse Hepialus captive market in Hepialus insects suitable
habitat near the geoheat
hot spring generation place in Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau; in winter and spring using the geoheat
hot spring water to control the temperature of the
greenhouse to stay between 10DEG C+-6DEG C and through lowering
natural enemies hazards of Hepialus to promote 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 quantity and density of captive Hepialus; 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 345d-390d, 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 or worm seed for Hepialus breeding in Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau.
