Abstract
Oxygen consumption was measured in fifth- and sixth-instar larvae of Spodoptera exempta (Wlk.) at 25 deg C using Warburg manometry. The mean rate of oxygen consumption while feeding on maize or sorghum leaves was approximately twice that at rest. The increment in oxygen consumption attributable to feeding was 583 plus or minus 207 mu l/g per h (mean plus or minus 95% confidence limits) or, for maize, 6.1 plus or minus 3.5 mu l oxygen per mg of leaf eaten
