#Indiafoldscopephase1#Insectworld#muga#tubercles@Teamfoldscope The pigmentation of this morphological structure changes during the development of silkworm larvae (1st through 5th Instar stages). These out growths are called tubercles. They work as sensors for changes in environment related to temperature and humidity.
