Body temperature and thermoregulation of Antheraea assama larvae

Activity patterns and body temperature (Tb) and its maintenance were investigated in the 5th instar larvae of Antheraea assama Westwood (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). These larvae thermoregulate by finding and utilizing favourable microenvironments and by restricting their activities to suitable times of the day. Further convective cooling, facilitated by a raised posture also serves to ameliorate Tb. Regression analysis suggests that environmental temperature is the major determinant of Tb along with solar radiation (SR) and wind (W).
