Abstract
Biology of the sesame leaf webber Antigastra catalaunalis Duponchel was studied in the laboratory on leaves of variety G. TIL-3. The length and width of egg, body of each larval instar, pupae and adults were measured. The incubation period was 2.38 ± 0.54 days. There were five larval instars and length of larva increased from 1.91–9.53 mm with total larval period of 10.50 ± 1.43 days. Pupal period lasted for 6 days and adult longevity was 6-7 days. The sex ratio was found to be 1: 1 and males were comparatively smaller than females. The total lifecycle occupied 26.5 ± 7.78 days.
