Threshold weight for starvation-triggered metamorphosis in the yellow-spotted longicorn beetle, Psacothea hilaris (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Abstract The development of 4th stadium Psacothea hilaris larvae under various feeding and starving regimens was investigated to determine whether there is a threshold weight for metamorphosis. In larvae fed ad libitum, 56% of individuals spent a mean of 13 d in the 4th stadium and 18 d in the 5th s...
