2nd-instar | 38.33±1.53b | 9.63 | 8.76–10.92 | Y = −1.331+0.138x |
Male 3rd-instar | 100c | 5.67 | 5.69–5.74 | Y = −7.842+1.383x |
Prepupa | 25±1a | 9.64 | 8.53–11.76 | Y = −2.344+0.243x |
Adult female | 100c | 1.96 | 1.76–2.15 | Y = −1.174+0.598x |
Note: Means followed by different letters in a column represents differ significantly between each life stage (Tukey-HSD test: P<0.05).
