Fig. 3. —Flight polymorphism in A. assimilis. Kainga Pond. (3A). The relative frequency of each of the two morphs in the population. (3B). The relative frequencies of the mature morphs and developmental stages in the population. (1) newly moulted flightless bugs, (2) the mature flightless morph, (3) newly moulted normal bugs, (4) teneral normal bugs, showing development of flight musculature from moulting, (5) the mature normal morph and (6) flightless morph of the overwintering population. (3C). The relative frequencies of the two morphs in samples of late fifth instar larvae. Separation of the morphs was based on differences in the amount of flight muscle development.
