Investigations on the biology of Galleria mellonella revealed that the incubation period was 8.80± 0.48 days. The seven successive larval instars occupied 4.50±0.49, 5.30±0.50, 6.60±0.68, 7.30±0.50, 8.30±0.45, 8.50±0.67 and 9.30±0.40 days. The total larval duration was 50.3±3.40 days. The duration of prepupa and pupa were 2.20 ± 0.53 and 8.65 ±0.73 days respectively. The adult males lived for 16.50 ±2.70 days, while female lived shorter only 6.88 ±0.73 days. Pre oviposition, Oviposition, Post-oviposition periods for females were 1.10±0.30, 4.70±0.66 and 1.22±0.40 days, respectively. Females laid an average of 760.9±168.88 eggs / female with 161.80±45.87 eggs/female/day
