The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), was originally distributed in North America and spread into central Europe and eastern Asia in the early 1940s. This species was first found in Seoul, Korea in 1958. In this study, the effect of temperatures on development in regional variation of the H. cunea was investigated. Local populations of fall webworm were collected in Goyang and Pusan, Korea and the larvae were reared on an artificial diet, incubated at seven constant temperatures of 17.5, 20.0, 22.5, 25.0, 27.5, 30.0 and 32.5℃ under the photoperiod 16L:8D. The average developmental periods decreased as the temperature increased at all stage in the Goyang population. The temperature dependent developmental rates in each stage were well described by linear and nonlinear Briere model in the Goyang population. The lower threshold temperature for development from egg to adult was 13.7℃ and all the eggs did not hatch at 32.5 ℃. Optimum temperatures for reproduction was 22.5℃, and average number of eggs laid by individual female at the temperature was 441.5±121.8. Developmental periods of larval and pupal stage in the Goyang population were not significantly different from those in the Pusan population at 25℃.
