dc.description.abstractMaternal age is the age of an insect at the time of depositing an egg and is an important factor impacting on the properties of the progeny. This study determined the influence of maternal age on the preadult total development time, larval development time, pupal development time, pupal weight and adult longevity of Galleria mellonella (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This study was conducted in 2018 in the Biology Laboratory of Science Teaching, Sinop University. The insects were grouped into four groups (1, 5, 10 and 15 d-old) and they were kept under laboratory conditions (28 +/- 2 degrees C and 65 +/- 5% RH and continuous darkness). Larval development time, total preadult development time and longevity decreased with maternal age whereas pupal development time increased. Although the development time of the progeny of younger females lasted longer, total longevity increased. Although, the progeny of younger females had increased longevity, progeny of older females was advantaged in terms of development time.
