REARRANGEMENTS IN THE MUSCULATURE CORRELATE WITH JUMPING BEHAVIOUR IN LEGLESS MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY LARVAE CERATITIS CAPITATA (TEPHRITIDAE)

Rearrangements in the musculature correlate with jumping behaviour in legless Mediterranean fruit fly larvae Ceratitis capitata (Tephritidae)

Abstract Larvae of holometabolic insects evolved different crawling strategies depending on the presence or absence of larval legs or life style.A rather unusual mode of Fanny Packs locomotion has independently evolved in legless larvae of several dipteran species.Maggots of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata developed an effective jump
