摘要: IT IS difficult to imagine two kinds of animals more different from each other than the larva and adult a holometabolous insect-an insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis in its life cycle. Consider caterpillar moth. The Cocytius moth, sphinx is huge, slug-like creature weighs up 36 g (D. Janzen, personal communication). It eats green leaves, like most larvae, it presumably poikilothermic. But form same individual about 6 has wings scaly covering. highly endothermic, regulates T thx near 46 ° C while hovering flight, harvesting nectar flowers.
