Importantly, cannibalism in animals is a widespread and common feeding strategy [6], particularly so among grasshoppers, locusts, and Mormon crickets, in ...
In the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus, reduction of midgut wall dept, vacuolization of epithelial cells, swelling of the microvilli and eventual rupture of epithelial cells was observed after consecutive days of ingesting PI29.
