Development of pellet-type artificial diet for insect was tried by using a twin screw extruder(TSE). Screws were arranged several times and two reverse screws were equipped on the foreparts of 2 axes of TSE. Pellet-type diet could be produced successfully under conditions of TSE set as the following. , 300 rpm of main motor speed, 228 rpm of feed motor speed, 75㎖/min of running water speed and 5 ㎜ of extrusion diameter. The optimum adding quantity of water to the manufactured diet was 1.2~1.5 times of dry diet. On the rearing results of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua and common cutworm, Spodoptera litura with the pellet-type diet, the final survival ratio (emergence rate) of these two species was over than 50%, and so it was concluded that the manufactured pellet-type artificial diet was sufficient dietetically to rear those insects.
