Many of the predators and parasitoids are mass reared for their usage against agricultural pests are dependent on either egg or larval stages of Corcyra as it is the factitious host for almost 60 parasitoids and 15 predators having a limited that are host-specific in nature. It also acts as a laboratory host for many benificial mites and nematodes. The experiment was conducted in Insect biocontrol Laboratory, MSSSoA, CUTM, Odisha.to study the duration of different life stages and morphometry of corcyra at laboratory conditions. From the experimental results it was inferred that the egg, larval, pupal and adult duration were 5.96±0.92 days, 28.26±1.96 days, 8.26±0.72 days and 7.60±0.74 days respectively.
