In this study, we established methods for rearing &lt;em&gt;T. oldenlandiae&lt;/em&gt; in the laboratory using an artificial diet containing dry powder of a wild grass &lt;em&gt;Cayratia japonica&lt;/em&gt; (Thunb.) Gagnep. Several artificial diets were tested with different ratios of a commercial diet, Insecta LFM, and the dry leaf powder, and including different antibiotics, and the composition of the standard diet on which larvae performed best was determined. The standard diet contains 20 g of Insecta LFM, 4 g of leaf powder, 100 ml of water, 75 mg of chloramphenicol, and 200 &amp;mu;l of propionic acid. Larvae reared on the standard diet became larger pupae than those reared on &lt;em&gt;C. japonica&lt;/em&gt; leaves. This result suggests that the larvae have growth potential that is masked on &lt;em&gt;C. japonica&lt;/em&gt; leaves, and that &lt;em&gt;C. japonica&lt;/em&gt; may not be the most suitable host species for &lt;em&gt;T. oldenlandiae &lt;/em&gt;larvae in terms of nutrient level.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
