Abstract


Arthroschista hilaralis is a defoliator pest. Currently, a great
number of these insects are attacking Jabon trees, causing a high
degree of damage. This study aimed to assess the life cycle of A.
hilaralis on Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) The study
was conducted by examining each stage of A. hilaralis life
development, including the body size and the time required for
each stage of A. hilaralis development. The results showed that
the average time A. hilaralis took to complete a life cycle was
25.1 days, consisting of egg stage 2.7 days; larva 12.6 days,
pupa 6.9 days and pre-oviposition of imago 2.9 days. Pest
management action is required on a regular basis to control this
pest development due to the high level of development and the
rapid rate of growth of A. hilaralis.
