An energy budget was evaluated for the bertha armyworm M. configurata (Walker) over its life cycle. Cumulative values for the budget at the end of larval development were: ingestion, 2124 cal; respiration, 372 cal; production, 485 cal; and egestion, 1266 cal. The 6th instar larva accounted for 80.1, 83.2, 81.3 and 78.8% of the total energy in ingestion, respiration, production and egestion, respectively, during its development. Assimilation efficiency varied from 35.5-44.4% with a mean of 40.6%, production efficiency varied from 16.6-23.8% with a mean of 21.3%, and net production efficiency varied from 37.5-61.3% with a mean of 52.7%.
