## Abstract Ecdysteroid titers measured in the haemolymph of third instar larvae of __Drosophila__ revealed the existence of a small peak (40 ng/ml) preceding the major peak at pupariation. Under experimental conditions of delayed pupariation, the release of both ecdysteroid peaks is retarded. The
Arginine kinase (AK) is present throughout the life cycle of Drosophila melanogaster, but there is a sharp, transient peak of AK activity during the prepupal period and a second period of elevated activity at the time of eclosion of the adult. Imaginal discs show the greatest increase in AK activity
