Medicinal plants are one of the important plants in southwest China karst area, and the pollination by insects plays a vital role in sustainable use of medicinal plants.Based on the field observation, recording behavior and habits of foraging, feeding, pupation and eclosion, tests of Byasa mencius were studied, and the main factors influenced on the pupation and eclosion under feeding condi-tions were also analyzed.The result showed that B.mencius is the pollinator of many kinds of medicinal plants.Under laboratory feed-ing conditions, the food, humidity and feeding mode directly affected on the success rate of pupation and eclosion.%药用植物是中国西南岩溶地区的重要植物资源之一,昆虫传粉对药用植物的遗传多样性和可持续利用十分重要。本研究对灰绒麝凤蝶( Byasa mencius)开展饲养实验,结合野外定点观察,记录访花、取食、化蛹和羽化等行为和习性,分析实验饲养条件下影响化蛹和羽化的主要因素,探讨人工饲养方法。结果表明,灰绒麝凤蝶对多个科、属的多种药用植物具有访花和传粉行为,在实验室饲养条件下,食料的充沛程度、湿度和饲养方式等直接影响着化蛹和羽化的成功率。该研究可为灰绒麝凤蝶的规模化养殖和蝶类资源的开发提供参考。
