Abstract
All of the pupae, totalling over 3,750, produced by 320 laboratory-bred females of Glossina austeni Newst. allowed to feed from rabbits’ ears, were weighed soon after deposition. Pupal weights were relatively low initially but increased during the first 30 days of the females’ productive life, were high during the next 100 days or so and thereafter declined to less than the initial level.Keywords
