Calliphora vicina, micro‐CT‐based virtual cross sections of puparia and allometric relationship between the pre‐helicoidal region of the midgut and the indirect flight muscles during metamorphosis at different times after pupariation (AP), reared at 24°C. The corresponding percentage of time of the total intra‐puparial period (IPP) given in brackets. (a) 48 hr AP (20% IPP). (b) 120 hr AP (50% IPP). (c) 168 hr AP (70% IPP). (d) 240 hr AP (100% IPP). (e) Linear regression between the volume of the pre‐helicoidal region of the midgut and the indirect flight muscles during metamorphosis. amg, adult midgut; an, antennae; dlm, dorsal longitudinal muscles; dvm, dorsoventral muscles
