Abstract
Haemocytes increased gradually from the first instar to late fifth instar larvae of the cut worm, Agrotis ypsilon.The haemocyte number declined during the prepupal stage. Ligation and decapitation decreased the haemocyte number in the posterior part of the larvae. Injection of brain homogenate either from early last Instar larvae of A. ypsiJon or nymphs of Schistocerca gregarfa into decapitated larvae, caused increase in haemocyte count. Injection of 20-hydroxyecdysone into the posterior half of thorax ligated larvae caused a significant increase in haemocytes, while application of juvenile hormone alone had no effect.
