Abstract

Rearing immatures of Thyanta calceata in SL: 16D, SL:4D:8L:4D, and 16L:8D photo- periods showed that the length of each photophase, rather than an accumulation of shorter photophases, during each 24 h period wa, the determining factor in producing adult di- morphism in color and pubescence.
