Abstract: The laboratory studies on biology of mango leaf webber was conducted at the Department of Entomology, College of Horticulture, Bagalkot during 2018-19. The studies revealed that the mean preoviposition, oviposition and postoviposition periods lasted for 2.60±0.52, 4.10±0.74 and 1.90±0.74 days, respectively. The larva moulted six times by passing through seven larval instars. The mean durations of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th instar were 4.80±0.92, 4.65±0.90, 4.41±0.63, 4.16±0.87, 4.52±0.51, 5.20±0.42 and 6.50±0.53 days, respectively with mean total larval period of 42.54±2.53 days. The mean duration of male and female pupal stage were 11.80±0.63 days and 14.30±1.43 days respectively. The mean longevity of adult male and female were 4.10±0.74 days and 5.80±0.42 days, respectively. The total life cycle completed in 58.44±3.90days in male and 62.64±4.59 days in female.
