Abstract
An artificial feeding method at low altitude for a host insect ghost moth of Ophiocordyceps sinensis including selecting an appropriate disinfectant for performing surface disinfection on ghost moth eggs, and then placing the disinfected eggs in sterile humus; feeding ghost moth larvae with carrots, disinfecting and detecting the fed carrots, and culturing the larvae till male and female pupae are obtained; identifying male and female pupae of the ghost moths, placing them at different culture temperatures, wherein the culture temperature for the male pupae is 2-6° C. lower than that of the female pupae, resulting synchronously emerged male and female adults; placing the emerged male and female adults in an adult cage with simulated plants for mating and staying of the adults, maintaining a humidity over 80%, and employing 50-100 Lux shimmer for facilitating activity and mating of the adults.
