Abstract
The pupal stage of Ephestia figulilella was exposed to temperature of 40 ,45 and 50 ºC for different period (1,3 and 6 hrs) besides the control which exposed to 28 ºC .The effects of these temperature degrees were determined on some biological aspects of produced adult . Results showed that there is increasing in the percentage of dry dead pupa and malformed adults as the temperature and duration of exposure to it increased . Furthermore ,the mean number of eggs / female and the age percent of egg hatch for the following mating : ( exposed female × normal male , normal female × exposed male and exposed female × exposed male ) were also effected when adults exposed to these temperature as pupae .
