Energy, Matter and Nitrogen Utilization by the Larvae of the Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus

Dry matter, energy and nitrogen budgets of the form: ingestion (I) = growth (G) + respiration (R) + egestion (F) were evaluated for the larvae of Danaus plexippus (L.) fed Asclepias syriaca at 27°C, 80-90% RH, 14 h light. Gross efficiencies of growth (100 G/I), 16% (dry weight), 21% (caloric equival...
