Strain Detail |
|
| Name | Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville | ||||
| Origin | Japan | ||||
| Adult | wingspan of 115 - 150 mm | ||||
| Hibernation | egg ( dormant larva ) | ||||
| Larva | Grown larva: tetra molter : takes about 45 days from hatching to spinning | ||||
| Host Plants | In addition to Quercus acutissima leaves, leaves of Quercus myrsinifolia, Quercus glauca and Quercus serrata were used in subculturing | ||||
| Voltinism | Univoltine. Eggs were preserved at 0° and hatching period was adjusted. In the wild, eggs hatch from late April to early May. In captivity, eggs hatch from May to July. | ||||
| Mutation | There are cocoons in emerald green color and moths with long pupal period. | ||||

| Name | Antheraea pernyi Guérin-Méneville | ||||
| Origin | People's Republic of China. Breeding started in Japan in year 1877. | ||||
| Adult | wingspan of 110 - 130 mm | ||||
| Hibernation | pupa | ||||
| Larva | Grown larva: tetra molter : takes about 45 days from hatching to spinning | ||||
| Host Plants | Quercus acutissima leaves were used in subculturing. Similar to Antheraea yamamai Guerin-Meneville | ||||
| Voltinism | It happens once or twice a year. First generation is in May to July and second generation is in August to September. Breeding period can be adjusted if pupa is cyropreserved. Voltinism and day length is closely related. At age 5 (4th larval instar), more than 15 hours of daylight will result in non-diapause but less than 13 hours of daylight will result in diapause. | ||||

Samia cynthia ricini
Donovan
|
||||||
| Origin | Assam region in India. In 1938, it was brought from India to Taiwan and then imported to Japan. | ||||||
| Adult | wingspan of 100 - 120 mm | ||||||
| Larva | Grown larva: tetra molter : takes about 21 to 25 days from hatching to spinning | ||||||
| Host Plants | Leaves of Ailanthus altissima is mainly used in subculturing. Silk Mate L4M from Nosan Corporation can also be used. In this case, there were abnormalities in the adult such as curled wings. In addition, Ricinus communis L, Ligustrum japonicum, Ilex rotunda, Cinnamomum camphora, etc. | ||||||
| Voltinism | Polyvoltine. These non-diapausing moths can bred throughout the year | ||||||

| Host Plants | Leaves of Ailanthus altissima is used in subculturing. In addition, Ricinus communis L, Ligustrum japonicum, Ilex rotunda, Cinnamomum camphora, etc. | ||||
| Voltinism | Happens once (1 generation) or twice (2 generations) a year in the wild. First generation is in May to July and second generation is in August to September. It changes to bivoltine under long-day condition. Under captivity, almost all are univoltine but some are bivoltine. | ||||
