The larvae of the fungivorous moth Diomea cremata were reared using two commercial artificial diets for herbivorous insects. One diet consisted of INSECTA LFM (Nosan Co.) and dried shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes, powder at the ratio of 7 : 3. The other diet was ready-to-use, INSECTA LFS (Nosan Co.). The emergence rates from 1st instar larvae were not significantly different between the two diets. It was clarified that larvae of the fungivorous moth D. cremata could be reared on artificial diets for herbivorous insects.
