We thought at the time that the process we were involved with was akin to giving birth to a child, but also much like the metamorphosis that occurs in the life cycle of insects, especially beetles, moths, and butterflies. We "knew" that tryptamine was somehow a major part of the solution to the enzyme mysteries surrounding metamorphosis. We recalled certain unconfirmed reports of the grub of a beetle eaten by Indians in Eastern Brazil for its hallucinatory effect. 

Feeny and Bostock (37) have found a relationship between timing of an insect life cycle and plant palatability. Larvae of the winter moth Operophtera brumata feed in spring on young leaves of the deciduous oak Quercus robur. The larvae are apparently intolerant of high tannin content in leaves, and the authors found that tannin content was minimal...

LIFE CYCLE. These moths have different life cycles. Whereas the summer fruit tortrix [Capua reticulana) has two generations, in colder regions of Europe the apple leafroller [Pandemis heperana] and fruit tree tortrix (Archips podana) often produce only one generation.

LIFE CYCLE. Both moths have a development cycle that lasts several years.

Combining different controi methods that are effective against individual stages in a pest s life cycle can boost your success in keeping the pest from damaging plants. The codling moth, a serious pest of apples and other fruit trees, is a good example of a pest that is vulnerable to several types of controls. 

Timing insect-control methods. White arrows follow the life cycle of the codling moth from the pupation of overwintering larvae in spring through 2 full generations to the end of summer. Black arrows indicate when to use various control methods to coincide with the vulnerable phase in the insect s life cycle. 

Life Cycle Larvae overwinter in tree trunk burrows in the spring they spin brown silken cocoons at the surface of the burrow or in soil cocoons may be covered with din and gum from the tree first adult moths... 

Life Cycle Larvae overwinter in plant roots and pupate in early June moths emerge a week later and lay eggs larvae bore into leaf whorls and stalks, then pupate... 

Life Cycle InJuneand July, moths emerge from soilborne pupae adults lay eggs on undersides of leaves eggs hatch in a week larvae feed for a month, then pupate in soil until the following summer. 

The life eycle of B. mori is summarized in Fig. 23.1 [21]. In about 50 days it eompletes its life cycle of four different metamorphosing phases egg or embryo, larva, pupa and adult (moth). Of the life cycle, about half is the larval stage, the only stage at which they consume food, mulberry leaves. Pupation occurs at the end of spinning (or cocoon formation) the latter takes...
