Tipula nova appeared to have three generations a year under the rearing conditions at room temperature. The first-generation with its eggs laid in April spent from 51 to 117 days, while the second-generation with its eggs laid in July spent from 57 to 93 days. The third-generation in which eggs were laid in September to grow until the following spring took 79 to 200 days. All the processes of life cycle of the species, when reared at room temperature from the spring to the summer with eggs deposited in the spring, were as follows: Eggs usually hatched between 7 and 10 days after oviposition. First ins tar larvae molted to the second instar in 7-10 days. Second instar larvae spent 7-12 days for next molting and third instar period lasted approximately 7-11 days. Fourth ins tar larvae spent 17-50 days for pupating. The duration of pupal stage was 3-6 days.
