The wet mass of female larvae was measured at the indicated developmental stages. The biological endpoints used to determine sex and developmental stage are described in the text. The results are the average of five trials using ten larvae for each trial. The only significant difference was found at 96 h which is the midpoint in the third larval instar development (indicated by bold text). The p-value for differences between WT60, A63 and B54 compared to AB46 was <0.0001.
