Abstract
⺠Two major types of cells are present in the body fluid isolated from the thoracic region of a diapausing pupa. ⺠Phagocytosis and encapsulation by these cells were observed when latex beads as foreign targets were microinjected into a pupa. ⺠Such behavior by these cells was still observed even when pupae were continuously chilled at 4 °C. ⺠Innate cellular reactions can work in diapausing insects in a dormant state.
