The effects of different rates of CL (0.5-10% medium) were determined to female and male populations of insect for controls and CL groups. The findings demonstrated that the seed of CL as a source for natural waste product have potential uses for insect feeding.Keywords : Drosophila melanogaster, Citrullus lanatus, Ageing
