Discussion
- weight for Wwi was increade, because much more confidence in the ultimate wet weight
Facts
- The cuticle is moulted about four times during the life cycle. (Ref: bumblebee)
- Some species lay their eggs inside the moulted cuticle, into which males shed sperm. (Ref: bumblebee)
- It appears that egg laying and defecation can only happen during moulting. (Ref: bumblebee)
