Pupation Percentage (PP): The mature silkworm larvae pass into the pupal stage. Herb Nacke of Northridge wrote me about the fig beetles - those metallic green beetles that emerge from pupation when the weather warms - in his compost pile. Buckeye-butterfly larvae dining on such plants ate about 15 percent more than their counterparts eating plants grown at today's carbon dioxide levels, took 10 percnt longer to reach pupation and were visibly weaker, report ecologist Eric Fajer and his co-workers at Harvard University. |
