Study on Biological Characteristics and Artificial Breeding Techniques of Kallima inachus (Papilionoidea: Nymphalidae)
College of Life Science, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing 401331, China
| Abstract: | [Objective] By exploring the biological characteristics and artificial scale breeding techniques of Kallima inachus (Doyère, 1840) Doubleday in Chongqing, the artificial scale breeding technique system of Kallima inachus Doubleday was established, which provided a strong guarantee for the resource development, utilization and protection of the butterfly. [Methods] By purchasing larvae and artificial breeding, the insects were raised in the Insect Innovation Base of Chongqing Normal University at a temperature of 25-30°C and a humidity of 80% to 90%, and the detailed growth and development and biological characteristics of the butterflies were observed and recorded. Based on this, the paper summarizes the technique and method system of artificial large-scale breeding of Kallima inachus in Chongqing area. [Results] The growth and development process and the biological characteristics of each developmental stage were initially mastered, and the next generation of Kallima inachus was successfully bred, and a complete technical system of artificial large-scale breeding of Kallima inachus was established. [Conclusion] Using this technique and method, the growth and development of Kallima inachus were good at all stages, and the offspring could be successfully bred. The results of this study provide technical guidance for the large-scale breeding of Kallima inachus, and have important significance for the conservation and resource utilization of this species. |
