## Abstract A thermal hysteresis producing antifreeze protein was isolated from larvae of the beetle, __Tenebrio molitor__. This is the first thermal hysteresis protein purified from an insect. The specific activity of the __Tenebrio__ antifreeze is somewhat greater than that of the fishes. The com

Sex pheromone activity from female medwonn beetles (Tenebrio molitor) may be extracted and quantified by fractional population response of virgin adult males, which attempt copulation with any pheromone-treated object. Extracts of mature males can be shown to elicit identical behavioral activity, al
## Abstract Two antifreeze proteins with thermal hysteresis activity (they depress the freezing point of aqueous solutions by a noncolligative mechanism well below the melting point) were purified from coldβacclimated larvae of the beetle, __Tenebrio molitor__. Both proteins have unusual amino acid
I n a previous study it was shown that DDT did not lyse hemocytes (or blood cells) of the mealworm im vitro (Jones and Tauber, '54), although Toumanoff and Lapied ('50) reported this to be the case in DDT-treated Galleria. I n addition, it was shown that DDT did not interfere with in vitro hemolymph
