The effects of the amounts of food available to larvae and to adults were investigated in Palembus dermestoides Fairn. The quantities provided for larvae were 1, 2, 5, 10 mg/larva/week but these were raised to 100 mg/pair/week when adults emerged, and those for the adults were 20, 50, 100, 200, 400...
