Abstract
Amylase and invertase activity in the midgut tissue of the lepidopterous larvae Catopsilia crocale was studied in relation to the developmental stage and food availability. The enzyme activity increased significantly with advancing age of the larva. A direct positive correlation between food intake and enzyme activity was observed. A possible relationship between feeding and the regulation of enzyme activity is discussed.
