Dried-leaf powder of six host plants, Quercus acuta, Q.dentata, Q.acutissima, Q.serrata, Q.mongolica var.grosseserrata and Moulus pumila were evaluated as components of an artificial diet for rearing the wild silkworm Antheraea yamamai. Small-scale rearing of 5 larvae and large-scale rearing of 20 larvae were conducted to compare the viability, growth speed and cocoon quality. With respects to the cocoon qualities, Q.m.var.grosseserrata and M.pumila were preferable components of the artificial diet. For rearing of A.yamamai as an experimental animal, leaf powder of Q.m.var.grosseserrata was a suitable component because it resulted in high survival rate, earlier maturation and decrease of abnormal pupae.
