"When we lifted a stone we found a termite mound with three fly larvae that we had never seen before," Vila says. "The water had probably flooded the deeper layers of the nest and the larvae had ...

The researchers discovered that the midge undergoes a punctuated form of development as it progresses from its larval stage to adulthood. In its first winter, larvae reach their second instar—the ...

In the mountains of the Anti-Atlas in Morocco, a fly larva has developed a camouflage strategy that is as surprising as it is effective. Thanks to a "mask" resembling a termite head on its posterior ...

The Antarctic midge larvae usually grow to their second instar by the first winter and undergo quiescence so that they can quickly resume development at any moment when it suddenly becomes warmer.

Before the second winter, the larvae reach their final stage but don't pupate. Instead, they enter obligatory diapause, a natural dormancy phase in their life cycle. The Antarctic midge is the ...

The team found that Antarctic midge larvae usually grow to their second instar by the first winter and undergo quiescence so that they can quickly resume development at any moment when it suddenly ...

Their findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, show that Antarctic midge larvae usually grow to their second instar by the first winter and undergo quiescence so that they can quickly ...
