Abstract

LARVAE of Rhodnius take very large meals of blood1. If they are disturbed when half full they will readily resume feeding, but fully fed larvae will make no further attempts to suck blood until after they have moulted to the next instar. The following observations provide an explanation of the way in which the extent of feeding is controlled.
