Insect Nutrition and Metabolism

THE subject of nutrition and metabolism in insects is highly important, in that its adequate exploration is likely to provide fresh viewpoints for problems of insect control. At the same time its relation to such insect products as silk, lac, honey, and wax should not be overlooked. At the present time, knowledge of the metabolic processes of insects is limited to scattered experiments anjd observations, usually confined to individual species, and of too inadequate a character to admit of reliable generalisations being made. The literature is very extensive and, for that reason, imparts the impression that a large amount of work has already been accomplished. A survey of any small branch in this field will, however, reveal how much of the available information is of a comparatively trivial or incomplete character, and what an infinitesimal amount of really fundamental knowledge has, so far, been gained.
