Overview

Field surveys identified new larval host plants for silkmoths in Arunachal Pradesh, indicating their ecological significance.

Key Points

  • Documented seven new host plant associations for three silkmoth species in Arunachal Pradesh, enhancing ecological understanding.
  • Included Gunda ochracea on Ficus rumphii and Antheraea frithi on multiple hosts, expanding known plant-silk moth interactions.
  • Extensive field surveys conducted across various regions identified fourteen species of wild silkworms in the area.
  • Findings provide critical information for sericultural applications and conservation in this biodiversity hotspot.
