LIFE CYCLE OF LABORATORY-REARED TOBACCO HORNWORMS, MANDUCA SEXTA, A STUDY OF DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOR, USING TIME-LAPSE CINEMATOGRAPHY

1. Time-lapse cinematography was used with laboratory-reared specimens of M. sexta to obtain information on and timing of behavioral activities.2. Insects used in this study were selected as the mo...
