Abstract
Statistically significant correlation coefficients were obtained for the relation between defecation rate and development rate as well as energy contents of pupa and imago of the noctuid mothAchaea janata. Using simple regression equations, the dependent variables development rate, pupa and imago were predicted against values of defecation rate obtained in a factorial design of experiment. The predicted and observed values did not significantly differ from each other indicating the possibility of predicting these parameters from easily estimatable faecal weight. The validity of the concept was tested using the data available in literature.
