Notes:
Summary In the European corn borer, subtle changes in imaginal wing discs during diapause constitute observable indications of diapause development, in experimental as well as in field-grown larvae. Wing disc diapause development is dependent mainly on temperature, and its total achievement is a necessary condition for good diapause termination. By applying these observations, we have improved a method that provides homogeneous populations of larvae that can resume their development rapidly in any season.
