| Abstract: | Haemolymph volume does not change significantly during 96 hr of starvation. Haemolymph and fat body metabolites are depleted significantly in insects denied food for 96 hr. The percentage of oöcyte resorption is increased considerably by starvation. Differences in the utilization of lipid and protein under conditions of starvation between adult Oxya and adult locusts may be attributed to the migratory habit of the latter. |
