Abstract
The greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella L.) larvae reared in constant conditions showed endogenous annual changes in the sensitivity to juvenilizing treatments, i.e. cooling and JHA administration. Also control, untreated larvae showed annual changes in normal development. The number of spontaneously appearing extra-larval molts, the number of animals entering the state of permanent larva, as well as the sex-ratio in Galleria population changes with respect to the season of the year. The possible mechanisms involved in these phenomena are discussed.
