Resolution: standard / high Figure 4.
Final sizes of the five larval instars of Manduca sexta. The size of the first four instars increase exponentially, but the final size of
the fifth instar is about twice (10.75 g) what would be expected (5.39 g) from the
regression on the earlier instars. The regression is: weight = 0.0014*e1.66*instar (R2 = 0.999).
