Is it advisable to allow the moths for 48 h oviposition?
It is always better to maintain the optimum conditions in the oviposition room and allow the moths only for 24 h oviposition. Since, 2 days oviposition will create some problem in uniform development and hatching, it is not advantageous. If required, the unlaid moths can be collected on the second day, paired once again and allowed for oviposition.
