Comparison of iron accumulation between the three midgut regions of larvae reared on SD and VMD—Perls’ method. (A,B): a higher iron accumulation in the anterior midgut of larvae reared on SD (A) compared to VMD (B) can be observed. (C,D): iron region in the first part of the posterior midgut of larvae reared on the two diets. (E,F): higher accumulation of iron in the second part of the posterior midgut of larvae grown on SD than VMD is visible. Arrowheads: transition zone between middle and posterior midgut.
