High- and low-nutrition regimes consisted of 0.05 and 0.25 mg, respectively, of TetraMin per larva per day.

High- and low-density treatments consisted of 200 larvae in 200 mL (one larva per 1 mL) and 200 larvae in 4,000 mL (1 larva per 20 mL), respectively.

For each trait, values with the same letter are not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05, Tukey's honest significant difference test).
