Abstract

The transport of lipid in the haemolymph of the Monarch butterfly during its fall migration was examined. Diglyceride was the major lipid class of 2 electrophoretically distinct lipoprotein fractions in both males and females. Triglycerides, hydrocarbons, free fatty acids, phosphatidyl cholines and phosphatidyl ethanolamines were minor components of these lipoproteins. Differences in lipid transport attributable to sex were not detected.
