伽马夜蛾幼虫血淋巴中的绿色色素是典型的虫黄素，黄色成分是叶黄素，蓝色成分是中胆绿素。这种色素复合物存在于浅绿色、孤立的和深色、密集的伽马病毒的血淋巴中。两个色相的珠被都含有叶黄素，大部分不与蛋白质结合。也可能存在微量内消旋胆绿素，但似乎不存在虫红素。深色、拥挤的幼虫的体皮含有黑色素，而单独的幼虫则不含黑色素。然而，酪氨酸酶活性存在于拥挤和单独形式的血淋巴和体被中。定量分布记录了单独和拥挤的幼虫中这些色素的变化。
The green pigment in the hemolymph of the larvae of Plusia gamma is a typical insectoverdin, the yellow component being lutein and the blue component mesobiliverdin. This pigment complex exists in the hemolymph of both the pale-green, solitary, and dark, crowded forms of P. gamma. The integument of both color phases contains lutein, mostly unattached to protein. Traces of meso-biliverdin may also be present, but insectorubin appears to be absent. This integument of dark, crowded larvae contains melanin, while that of the solitary form does not. Tyrosinase activity, however, is present in the hemolymph and integument of both crowded and solitary forms. The quantitative distr. of these pigments in solitary and crowded larvae is recorded.
