. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. FIGURE 3. A mature Cecropia larva ligatured behind head and thorax prior to the initia- tion of spinning. Neither end is able to metamorphose. FIGURE 4. The same as Figure 3, except that the ligatures were applied during the second day of spinning. The thorax has pupated, but the abdomen remains larval. FIGURE 5. The same as Figure 3, except that the ligatures were applied after the initiation of the prepupal stage. Both the thorax and abdomen have pupated. The dead larval head and moulted larval cuticle are also illustrated
