Dramatic reorganization of dendrites and axonal terminals is a hallmark of neuronal remodeling during metamorphosis in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta. The dendritic and axonal arbors of leg motor neurons regress in late larval stages, then regrow during adult development. Ecdysteroids, the insect stero
