TL;DR: A technique was developed for continuous laboratory rearing of Plutella xylostella (L.) (L.') (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), on artificial diet, with good survival and longevity.
Abstract: A technique was developed for continuous laboratory rearing of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), on artificial diet. The life cycle from egg to adult required 19 days (egg: 3, larva: 11, pupa: 5) at 23°C and 60% RH. Survival from the egg to adult was 70%; adult longevity averaged 8 days (6–21). Females laid an average of 139 eggs (55–266) and 50% were deposited during the 1st 3 days of adult life. The majority of the eggs (ca. 75%) was laid on paper toweling.

TL;DR: A receptor in an insect which is sensitive to all twelve amino-acids tested is reported, and it is reported that this receptor is found in some Crustacea and in two Ixodid ticks.
Abstract: BEHAVIOURAL studies have indicated that some invertebrates can detect amino-acids, but physiological information is limited to amino-acid receptors in some Crustacea1 and in two Ixodid ticks2. I report here a receptor in an insect which is sensitive to all twelve amino-acids tested.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the biogeographic history of Nemoria supports a South American origin for the genus with multiple introductions into North America, and an application of published substitution rates to the phylogram provides an age estimate of 7.5 million years.
