With a caterpillar stage of around two months, the east Asian Dendrolimus kikuchii is among the faster growing Lappet species. Full-fed they reach a length of around nine centimeter. Kikuchii does well at an average living room temperature and are best kept as dry as possible. The first instars are most happy in well ventilated plastic containers, while older animals should be moved to netted cages to limit the possibility of diseases due to excessive moist. This is a pine feeder, doing well on Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) among others.
