1.以刚羽化的真社会性小蜂Ropalidia marginata（Lep.）被隔离，只有约50%的筑巢和产卵，从而暗示了一种种姓的前成虫偏见.产卵的黄蜂在羽化后开始产卵的时间长短不一。从幼虫以相对较高的速率被喂食的巢中羽化的雌性更有可能成为产卵者，并且可能在羽化后开始产卵的时间更短。因此，这两种形式的前形象偏见的种姓，即在产卵能力和差异所需的时间达到生殖成熟的差异，出现幼虫营养的影响。
1. When freshly eclosed females of the primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata (Lep.) are isolated, only about 50% of them build nests and lay eggs thereby suggesting a pre-imaginal biasing of caste.2. Wasps that lay eggs take a very variable amount of time after eclosion to start doing so.3. Females eclosing from nests where larvae are fed at a relatively higher rate are more likely to become egg-layers and are likely to take less time after eclosion to begin to lay eggs.4. Thus, both forms of pre-imaginal biasing of caste, namely, differences in egg laying capacity and differences in the time taken to attain reproductive maturity, appear to be influenced by larval nutrition.
