Fig. 4. Colony growth and survival. A) Survival of colonies inL. neoniger was affected by diet composition (Protein:Carbohydrates) but not by feeding frequency. In B) Colony growth was affected by both diet composition as well as diet frequency in both species, but these factors did not interact - the H diet had lower growth than others, as did the lowest feeding frequency. L: Low carbohydrate content; ML: Medium-Low; MH: Medium-High; and H: High.
