Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
Slender transparent tube, filled with 4 white balls to the eye.
These look to be prolarvae so they do not have clear eyes, mouth, cloaca etc.
By the end of the day of the hatch, the gut and cloaca have appeared. Mouth is still not apparent.
