ONTOGENETIC FEATURES OF <i>LEPTINOTARSA DECEMLINEATA </i>SAY HEMOLYMPH CELLS MORPHOLOGY
We studied the ontogenetic changes of morphometric characteristics of hemocytes of Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. With the development of larvae the increasing of cells volume and nuclei of prohemocytes with basophilic nucleus, spindle-shaped phagocytes and granulocytes can be observed. The volumes of cells and nuclei of prohemocytes with basophilic nucleus, plasmatocytes, spindle-shaped phagocytes, granulocytes of adults hemolymph are lower compared to those of larvae.
