D1 = diet 1, D2 = diet 2. For eggs, means within the same column followed by different lower-case letter are significantly different (P < 0.05, SNK Test). For the larval, pre-pupal and pupal stages, means within the same column followed by different lower-case letter are significantly different (P < 0.05, SNK Test) for D1 or D2. For the larval, pre-pupal and pupal stages, means within the same row for each life stage followed by the same upper-case letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05, T-test) for D1 or D2. (-) no survival was observed.
