Abstract
The article presents data on the biology and life cycle of Candaharia levanderi (Simroth, 1901) in laboratory and natural conditions. Candaharia levanderi belongs to the family Parmacellidae, common species in Uzbekistan. Lives for a year. On the plains in the first decade of March, it wakes up from hibernation and until mid-April, intensively feeding, prepares for reproduction. After laying eggs, the slugs die. Slugs hatched from eggs go into summer diapause. The life cycle of Candaharia levanderi consists of 4 stages: infantile, juvenile, adult and senile. Candaharia levanderi - a harmful species, the main harmfulness is high in spring. It is one of the main pests of cultivated and ornamental plants.
Keywords: Biology, Reproduction, Egg, Cycle, Infantile, Juvenile, Adult, Senile (Blue), Cultivated Plants, Ornamental Plants.
