Abstract
The qualitative variations in the free amino acids of larval haemolymph and the silkglands of male and female Antheraea proylei larva have been studied. The larval haemolymph has been found to contain 19 and 20 free amino acids in male and female respectively. Whereas in the silkgland only 16 free amino acids have been detected in both the sexes. The hydrogen-ion-concentration of the larval haemolymph and silkgland in the two sexes has also been observed to be ranging from 5.5. to 6.0 and 6.0 to 6.5 respectively. This has revealed that the haemolymph and silkgland both are rich in free amino acids. The amino acids obtained from food pass into the haemolymph from where most of the amino acids are picked up by silkgland.
