Figure 3

Life cycle of Camponotus ants. Shown in the centre are pictures of single queen colonies of C. compressus taken on the 56^th day of experiments (i.e. on the 56^th day after eggs were laid), for visual comparison of the magnitude of effects of light regimes on pre-adult development time. While adults can already be seen in the colony maintained under LL, those kept in LD and DD are still in pupal and larval stages, respectively. Shown along the circle are the pictures of adults, eggs, 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd instar larvae, and pupae of Camponotus compressus.
