Abstract
The result of the recent study showed that the host kind had an effect on the total amount in host losses which were rice , meal raisin ,date &fig where the average of losses were 14.15,20.03,22.2,31.3,31.48g/100g respectively .Date and fig showed significant differences which reflected on the insect average rate of increase 1.75and1.7 insect, respectively .The less average rate of increase where for Rice 0.97. A significant positive correlation also had been found between the average amount of loss and the average rate of increase with amount 0.73. Host kind had an effect on the average of eggs laying ,eggs hatching and average of duration of different periods stages of the insect .It showed that the average period for one generation was 47.75days for the date and the longer period was 68.25days for rice .
