Abstract

Nymphs of Euantissa pulchra were grouped into 5 categories as starvation for different periods; with different types of preys; continuous illumination; complete darkness and normal conditions, in-order to observe the number of moults (or instars) as well as the total nymphal periods. It is recorded that the food or illumination did not influence the number of moults but may extend the nymphal period.
