Abstract
Comparative biology of rice swarming caterpillar Spodoptera mauritia Boisduval has been analysed in this study. It was observed that rearing it on the artificial diets (chickpea flour based diets) was the most favourable with shortest larval period of 20.00± 0.51 days, whereas, those fed with rice leaves were 23.00± 0.52 days. The number of eggs laid was 1887.50 and 1013.50 when reared on artificial diet and rice leaves, respectively
