Larvae observed on P. alata devoted more to time resting and less time feeding, performing one or two meals of small duration, every 6 h. First instar caterpillars on old leaves of P. suberosa and P. caerulea spent more time walking, searching for a favorable feeding site. The hardness ...

The larvae hatch three to eight days later. The first meal is the egg case, which contains vital nutrients. From then on, caterpillars feed exclusively on milkweed. They undergo five successive molts as they grow. During the fifth instar, they leave the milkweed in search of a place to ...

However, contrary to this, such deforestation led to the decrease in the densitiesof both larvae and adults of the butterfly. Thus, the habitat requirements of S. charonda and itshost trees are contrary each other. To compound these contrasting habitat requirements, it ...
axyridis larvae than in cages without H. axyridis larvae. The present experiments identify H. axyridis as a potential stressor to populations of D. plexippus. Further research is needed to assess the likelihood of D. plexippus exposure to H. axyridis in the field and to quantify the ...
when 35S-sodium sulfate, 3H-tryptophane and 14C-hydrolysed protein were orally applied or injected to the larvae or pupae of the butterfly. 35S-sodium sulfate and 3H-tryptophane were found in ommochrome containing scale areas, whereas 14C-hydrolysed protein could be detected only in melanine ...
Both larvae and adults were reared in a lab at the University of Rhode Island's East Farm Mortality Prepupal mortality differed between treatments (Chi-square analysis, X2 = 7.731, p = 0.021; Fig. 1A). While no caterpillars died in the no-cue treatment, 2/20 died in the mosquito ...
which was largely in line with previous analyses by Wahlberget al.1, whereas significantly different from their subsequent study3.Pycina, morphologically intermediate betweenHistoris/BaeotusandColoburain larvae and pupae15, was recovered to be sister of the other Nymphalinae (PP = 0.95; BS...
