This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Suelo, Michelle S, Dela Cruz, Reggie Y, Luceno, Aprille Joy M, Lituanas, Chris Rey M, Toledo, Joliesa Mae S, Viernes, Rona Mae P, Mohagan, Alma B (2023): Metamorphosis of silver-striped hawkmoth (Hippotion celerio L.) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) collected and reared in Bukidnon, Philippines. Species (e 4 s 1004) 24 (73): 1-11, DOI: 10.54905/disssi/v24i73/e4s1004, URL: doi.org/10.54905/disssi/v24i73/e4s1004 ABSTRACT This research examined at the life cycles of the species that were raised on Colocasi a esculenta and used DNA barcoding to identify them.

Based on National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Barcode of Life Data Base (BOLD) with 98.91% and 100% identity respectively, genomic DNA of the reared species revealed its identity as Hippotion celerio species with a common name Silver-striped hawkmoth belonging to family the Sphingidae. The complete life cycle of Silver-striped hawkmoth (H. celerio) are composed of egg, larvae (first instar, second instar, third instar, and fourth instar), pupa and adult.
