In the 1 generation zone in early June to late July overwintering larvae pupate, pupation Sheng period in late June. Pupal period of 7 days. In late June to late July start shedding, in early August for shedding season, shedding cocoon overwintering larvae. 2 generation area adult occurred from mid May to mid July and early July to early September.

Each fruit may have within the larvae of 5 - 7 head, are up to more than 30. Atrijuglans hetaohei moth damage, usually in remote mountains area in shallow mountain, slope to slope, ditch in the ditch, wasteland in farmland, emergence period rainfall occurs, year of drought occurrence of light. Recommended prevention methods: each 667m2 with 10000000000 /ml Empedobacter brevis spore suspension agent from 80 to 100 ml of water at around 45 kg, in the oviposition period every 10 to 15 days is uniformly sprayed mist 1. |
