Ants are social insects with some significant roles in the ecosystem, including acting as predators for various insect pests. Myopopone castanea ants is a predatorfor the larvae of Oryctes rhinoceros pest. The existence of a similar niche of life between M. castanea ants and O. rhinoceros larvae opens an excellent opportunity to utilize these ants as biological agents. The research was conducted to study some aspects biology of M. castanea so that later it can be applied to mass rearing of natural enemies in the laboratory. The study was conducted by maintaining 50 eggs of M. castanea ant. Then, the eggs placed on two pieces of decayed palm oil stem together with twenty individual worker ants and ten individual end instar larvae. It needs five replications for the experiment. The results showed that egg stadia length was 13.8 days. It found five instars within M. castanea ant larvae with varying lengths of each stage. It takes 17.2 days for worker ant pupae to go through stadia pupa and 17.9 days for female ant pupae. The survival rate of M. castanea ant life from eggs until imago is 56.4%, which means that from several groups of eggs laid by queen ants, only about half have succeeded in becoming ant imago.

蚂蚁是社会昆虫，在生态系统中具有重要作用，包括充当各种害虫的捕食者。粟米cast酮蚂蚁是犀牛害虫幼虫的捕食者。栗树蚂蚁和犀牛幼虫之间存在类似的生命位，这为利用这些蚂蚁作为生物制剂提供了极好的机会。进行该研究以研究卡氏甲烷八叠球菌的某些方面的生物学，以便随后将其应用于实验室中天敌的大规模饲养。该研究是通过维持50个卡斯塔莫氏疟原虫卵而进行的蚂蚁。然后，将鸡蛋放在两片腐烂的棕榈油上，再放上二十只工蚁和十只末龄幼虫。该实验需要进行五次重复。结果显示，卵球体的dia骨长度为13.8天。它在M. castanea ant幼虫中发现了五只幼虫，每个阶段的长度都不同。工蚁p要经过stadia pu需要17.2天，而雌蚁p需要17.9天。从鸡蛋到成虫的栗树蚂蚁生命的存活率为56.4％，这意味着从蚁后产的几组卵中，只有大约一半成功地变成了成虫。
