Growth and ionic composition of the antennae of variegated grasshopper, Zonocerus variegatus (L., 1758) (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae)

[摘要]  This study examines the growth pattern and the ionic composition (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Po42-,Cl-) of the antennae of Zonocerus variegatus during its post embryonic development. The antennal length (cm) and number of antennal segments increased steadily during development with the adult stage having significantly (P
