## Abstract Overwintering larvae of the darkling beetle, __Meracantha contracta__, produce a macromolecular antifreeze that is similar in activity to the glycoproteinaceous and proteinaceous antifreezes found in some cold‐water, marine teleost fishes. The antifreeze is not present in the hemolymph

## Abstract Acclimation of __Meracantha contracta__ larvae collected in late summer to low temperatures, short photoperiods or low relative humidities induces production of a macromolecular antifreeze which functions to depress the freezing and supercooling points of the larvae. Overwintering larva
