Abstract:Holometabolous insects undergoes metamorphosis which involves an intercalated pupa stage between larva and adult. The body plan of the adult is established during pupa stage and larval systems are de-differentiated and reorganized in insects undergoing complete metamorphosis. In ladybird beetles, the limbs amputated in the larval stages are regenerated in the adults. This occurs during pupation. Given that changes in the pupa are akin to embryogenesis, does the lost limbs are redeveloped as a part of metamorph… Show more
