ARTIFICIAL DIET FOR CULTIVATION OF ZOPHOBAS ATRATUS (FABRICIUS, 1775) (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE) IN LABORATORY CONDITIONS

The first data on the possibilities of mass rearing of the larvae of the darkling beetle Zophobas atratus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on an artificial diet (AD) based on sawdust of the Japanese elm and mycelium of the fungus Pleurotus citrinopileatus are given. It is shown that the duration of the development of the beetle on this diet is on average 7 months. The use of the new artificial diet will allow to study the developmental biology of xylophages with different types of nutrition in laboratory conditions, under the influence of biotic and abiotic factors.
