Eggs of L. migratoria contain remarkably high concentrations of ecdysone and several other ecdysteroids. During the time-span of embryonic development (11 days), 4 distinct peaks of ecdysone concentration (up to 8 .mu.M) are observed in the egg, demonstrating the ecdysiosynthetic capacity of the embryo. Only during postblastokinetic development is ecdysone efficiently hydroxylated to 20-hydroxyecdysone and 20,26-dihydroxyecdysone. The decrease in peak hormonal concentrations is essentially achieved through conjugation. On the basis of optical and EM observations, each of the 4 peaks of ecdysone concentration in the egg was precisely correlated with the time of deposition of a cuticle by the embryonic tissues (peak 1: serosal cuticle; peak 2: 1st embryonic cuticle; peak 3: 2nd embryonic cuticle; peak 4: 3rd embryonic cuticle).
