Food block simulators and real food products were used for the tests.
We measured each caterpillar's daily consumption of each food block for the first five days of feeding.
Survivors that had received a single parasitoid egg ate more of the food block than their counterparts that died (Fig. 5).
The nutritious food block contained 22.4% protein (casein), 15.2% digestible carbohydrate (sucrose), 2.2% Wesson's salt mix, 11.5% agar, and 48.5% alpha-cellulose.
That is, this result dispelled the theoretical possibility that increases in the intake of PA by parasitized caterpillars in the feeding choice experiment came about from an aversion to the food block rather than increased acceptability of the PA block.
Then we gave final instar caterpillars in both treatments the same choice of feeding substrates over a 5-day period: one block of nutritious, synthetic food lacking PA, and one substrate block with a 0.1% PA and indigestible cellulose replacing the macronutrients (digestible carbohydrate and protein) of the food block.

After this Christmas, I had to spend more money and find more space for organizational items to hold all of the excess talking toys, play food, blocks, ride-on and push contraptions, all items she never needed -- or asked for -- as a baby.
Food blocks were removed at 24-h intervals and replaced with new, weighed blocks.
To obtain their initial wet masses, we weighed all food blocks prior to introduction to experimental cups.
Similarly, increased levels of parasitism did not statistically increase caterpillars' overall intake from PA and food blocks (Table 1, Tukey-Kramer test, α = 0.05).
