Summary

Artificial kernels and food bands (1 mm thick) stretched on concave microscopic slides proved inviting and very suitable for oviposition and for completing the life cycle of Sitophilus oryzae (L.). This artificial medium contains jelly*, wheat flour and corn oil, its moisture content is 18.1%. This is the first time it was possible to breed an insect on artificial media on glass slides.
