Finding appropriate artificial diets can aid in increasing Revised April 28 2023 the efficiency of mass rearing. The study evaluated three different Accepted April 30 2023 artificial diets by determining some biological and morphological characteristics of greater wax moths in laboratory of Plant Keywords Protection Department Agronomy Faculty Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. The experimental results showed Artificial diets that the artificial diet CT2 was the most effective one of the three Enemy research treatments. Its larval stage was shortest with an average of Galleria mellonella L. days. The greater wax moth larvae reared on CT2 grew fast and Greater wax moth had large size. Over a period of 20 - 30 days of age the length and width of greater wax moth larvae ranged from to Corresponding author mm and to mm respectively. The female Le Khac Hoang greater wax moths laid to 1 eggs on Email lkhoang@ average. When greater wax moths were reared on three different artificial diets there was no difference in fecundity.
