Abstract
Casuarina trees is one of the most important wood furniture as well as the most windbreak in fruit orchards In Egypt. Zeuzera pyrina (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) is a destructive polyphagous pest to fruit, wood and ornamental trees. Larvae of. Z. pyrina were reared on casuarina branches in the laboratory. Number of larvae and pupae completed their development, percentage of pupation, larval and pupal durations, rate of moth emergence, mating, oviposition, longevity, incubation period and percentage of hatchability were studied in casuarina branches under laboratory conditions. The pre-oviposition period was only one day, the incubation period averaged 11.7 (10 – 16 days), and the pupal duration averaged 16.2 (14 – 17) days. Approximated total life cycles were 281.5 (244 – 298) days when reared on casuarina. The relatively long period of larval period of infestation ranged between 219 – 264 days with an average of 252.6 days. It could be concluded that, further studies must be done on the control of this pest  to eliminate its damage on casuarina  trees  and the neighboring fruit orchards.
