| dc.description.abstract | Utilization of butterflies are often not balanced with maintaining sustainability in nature. Captive breeding is done as an effort to cultivation the plant and wildlife with maintain the purity of the strain. One species of butterfly that can be used is P.demoleus. Establishment the garden of butterfly for ecoedutourism object in Bogor Agricultural University (BAU), is a manifestation of utilizing the butterflies. Increase the life expectancy of a butterfly and be expected to have produced a big population without nature destructive. Captive breeding system was combined with laboratory treatment to increase the life expectancy of a butterfly until imago phase. The process of spawning be located at the dome and treatments performed in the laboratory with observed the imago copulation, life cycle, life expectancy, metamorphosis of P.demoleus, sex ratio, and abiotic factors. Mostly,life cycle of P.demoleus F1 is 34.11 ± 2.70days (29-40 days) and a F2 life cycle is longer 39.07 ± 3.30 days (33-45 days). Survival curve type I, high mortality rate was occurs in adult stage. At the pupa’s phase in the amount of 33.33 percent is the highest mortality. Many deaths in each phase due to parasites, bacteria, and eclosion failure. P.demoleus butterfly life expectancy increased to 44.60 percent from his life expectancy that is 2 percent in the wild. Research about captive breeding system effectivity and renovation of the dome facilities, is support the realization of a butterfly garden at the BAU. | en |
