The growth characteristics according to temperature conditions were investigated in the breeding room of the Sericulture & Entomology Experiment Station for Oriental garden crickets(Teleogryllus emma Ohmachi et Matsuura) and Modeagali-crickests(Loxoblemmus doenitzi Stein) collected from the lawns of Byeonsan-myeon, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do. The temperature conditions were 6 treatments from 15°C to 40°C at 5°C intervals using a multi-incubator, and the development period and mortality rate by age were compared using the 28°C breeding room conditions as a control. For T. emma, the higher the temperature, the shorter the total development period was, and the same trend was observed for the growth period by age stage. However, at low temperatures of 15°C and 20°C, all died after the third instar, and at high temperatures above 35°C, all died during development. At 25°C and 30°C, they developed normally, and the mortality rate was about 25%. The L. doenizi had the same tendency as the T. emma, with the higher the temperature, the shorter the development period. The total development period was 57.7 days at 25°C, which was similar to the T. emma's 55.9 days, and the mortality rate was the lowest at 44% at 25°C.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of mulberry leaf mixed diet on larval growth of Protaetia brevitarsis. As a result of adding mulberry leaves to oak fermented sawdust, the survival rate of P. brevitarsis larvae were higher than those of the control when mass rearing larvae. When fed oak fermented sawdust with 5%, 10% and 20% of mulberry leaves, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 93.1% at 65 days, 95.6% at 55 days, and 93.9% at 55 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively. Also, heavy metals were not detected in larvae of P. brevitarsis fed on mulberry leaves.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of mulberry cake mixed diet on larval growth of Protaetia brevitarsis. As a result of adding mulberry cake to oak fermented sawdust and mulberry fermented sawdust, the survival rate of P. brevitarsis larvae were higher than those of the control when mass rearing larvae. When fed oak fermented sawdust with 3, 5% and 10% of mulberry cake, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 92.9% at 65 days, 90.8% at 55 days, and 96.3% at 45 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively. When fed mulberry fermented sawdust with 3%, 5% and 10% of mulberry cake, the cumulative proportion of larvae over 2.5g was 86.2% at 85 days, 90.7% at 75 days, and 91.5% at 75 days after rearing at 25±1℃, respectively.
