Extending the Storage Time of <em>Clanis bilineata tsingtauica</em> (Lepidoptera; Sphingidae) Eggs through Variable-Temperature Cold Storage
<i>Clanis bilineata tsingtauica</i> Mell, 1922 (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae), also known as “Doudan” in China, is an important pest in legume crops. As an edible insect, it is most commonly consumed in Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan Provinces. Mass rearing requires access to large numbers of e...
