Extract

In 1959 a study was conducted in the Whiteshell Forest Reserve, Manitoba, to determine if insectary-reared larch sawfly larvae developed at the same rate as in the field. Data were collected on the rate of frass production in both situations and used as an index of larval development. This was part of a broader study that will be reported on more fully in a later publication, but the immediate results should be of interest to those concerned with studies on ecological life histories of other insects.
