Changes in the content of protein, glycogen, neutral lipids and sterols were investigated in locust eggs from oviposition until larval hatching. The content of all of these nutritional reserves was higher in the eggs of S. gregaria because of their larger size, although relative changes in utilization or synthesis of these materials during embryogenesis showed a more or less parallel course. The amount of protein increased progressively during embryogenesis, while glycogen and neutral lipids were successively metabolized or utilized for development of the embryo. There appeared significant relative differences in the way of utilizing energetic reserves during embryogenesis between the two species. This was especially manifested by a larger relative decrease in the content of neutral lipids (mainly triglyceride) in the eggs of S. gregaria. Conversely, the eggs of L. migratoria showed a larger relative utilization of glycogen reserves. The content of steroids was higher in the eggs of S. gregaria during the initial 6 days of embryonic development. Later on, during advanced stages of pharate larval development, the steroids were rapidly utilized and decreased in both species. The described changes in utilization of the main energetic resources were correlated with periods of tissue growth and differentiation and with the cuticulogenesis of the growing embryo.
