In Egypt. S. myopeeformis is a serious pest in apple orchards. Lan. vae were reared on its natural host and artificial medium diet containing apple saw dust. Number of larvae and pupae completed their development, percentage of pupation, larva and pupa durations, rate of moth emergence, mating, oviposition, longevity, incubation period and percentage hatchability were studied in details on natural host and artificial diet. The approximated life cycle was 97.6 (91 - 102) days on natural host and 56.8 (53 - 61) days on artificial medium diet. Out of 100 eggs reared on their natural host plant (apple) or artificial diet, 22 and 42 completed their development to adult moths, respectively. Rearing S myopeeformis on artificial diet reduced the total life cycle 1/2 than rearing on their natural host.
