1. Under laboratory conditions (25 to 27°C), female Cydia ptychora (Meyrick) laid an average of 44 eggs. 2. The egg incubation period was 5 days, while the larval developmental period lasted 7 to 10 days, and the pupal period 12 days. Thus, the total developmental period (egg to adult) lasted 24 to 27 days. The adult longevity averaged 10 days (13 to 15 days). 3.
