Recent work has shown that the mechanical properties of insect cuticle can change suddenly (Cottrell, 1962; Bennet-Clark, 1962). In the larva of Rhodnius it was found that the abdominal endocuticle rapidly becomes extensible when the insect starts to feed (Bennet-Clark, 1962); the abdomen can then expand greatly to accommodate th
