Figure 3. Mass of female and male larvae (a,c,e) of M. sexta raised on three different diet qualities: 100 (a,b), 80 (c,d) and 60% (e,f).

Standard error bars are included, but are smaller than the symbols for some experimental treatments. Body mass of female and male larvae raised on the various diet treatments after log transformation (b,d,f). 25%, 50% and 75% represent body mass at 25%, 50% and 75% of the development time from hatching to pupation.
