Abstract
Larval survivorships, growth rates, developmental rates, and emergence rates of Cloeon dipterum were studied under four constant temperatures $(10^{\circ}C,\; 15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;and\;25^{\circ}C)$ in the laboratory. Larval mortalities were relatively higher during the initial one-week period, but those tend to be stabilized as the experiments proceed. Judging from the growth and develop-mental rates, estimated optimal temperature for larval growth and development lies between $20^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$. Estimated larval period for emergence is less than 100 days.
