Life cycle of oil palm bunch moth, Tirathaba mundella walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) reared under laboratory conditions on artificial diet

Tirathaba mundella Walker is an important pest in many oil palm plantations especially those established on peatland. The life cycle of T. mundella has not been described in detail despite its economic importance. This study aimed to describe the bionomic characteristics of T. mundella, rearing on a...
