Abstract

After 3 weeks of chilling at 4 °C, last-instar larvae of the wax moth G. mellonella required about 40 min at 25 °C to regain posture and locomotory activity; 65% of the larvae died subsequently. Topical application of 2 μl FME significantly reduced the "recovery time" and enabled 75% of the treated larvae to survive the cold exposure.
