| Abstract: | Analysis of the hornet’s hemolymph revealed the presence of C16 and C18 fatty acids (70%), which were accompanied by minor quantities (ranging from 0.1% to 0.6%) of the following acids: C10∶0, C11∶0, C12∶0, C13∶0, C14∶0, C15∶0, C16∶0, and C17∶0. The hemolymph of the queen larvae contained more C18∶1 than the hemolymph of the worker larvae, and the percentage of C16∶1 was higher in the fat body and the midgut than in the hemolymph. The significance of these results is discussed. |
