The effect of photoperiod on the relative developmental speed of fifth instar larvae of mulberry silkworm Bombyx moti were studied. Tested photoperiodic conditions were: 24 hours lightO hours darkness(24L:OD), (12L:12D) and OL:24D). The mean weight of each of mature larvae, pupae, shell cocoon and silk glands significantly increased under complete darkness. Also, the other biometric measurements,i.e, the total mean laid eggs/female and utilization of food increased significantly under complete darkness compared with those reared under other tested photoperiods.
