Artificial diets for cupuassu fruit borer larvae.

The laboratory rearing of insects is a primordial tactics for researches in applied entomology. As cupuassu fruit borer feed of cupuassu fruit, and the fruit is extremely perishable, the achievement of an artifi cial diet for maintaining of larvae in laboratory is very important to facilitate the rearing and to avoid the excessive manipulation of insects. Therefore, the aim with of this experiment was to obtain an artifi cial diet to feed larvae of Conotrachelus sp. in laboratory (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the cupuassu fruit borer.
