Acaricidal Biominerals and Mode-of-Action Studies against Adult Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis
MICROORGANISMS, 11(8).
author keywords: mechanical insecticides; ticks; Imergard; Celite; repellency

Protein movement was observed for both normal dietary and xenobiotic proteins, which suggest that the mechanism for transfer is not substrate specific and could be highly significant to the future of protein and nucleic acid-based insecticide development as well as traditional chemical insecticidal technologies.

Mechanism of action and cloning of epoxide hydrolase from the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni
ARCHIVES OF INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY, Vol. 32, pp. 527–535.
author keywords: Trichoplusia ni; epoxide hydrolase; juvenile hormone
TL;DR:
Both the microsomal and cytosolic JH epoxide hydrolases were stable, retaining 30% of their original activity after incubation at 4 degrees C for 15 days, and 18O-labeled water underwent enzyme catalyzed regioselective addition to the least substituted C10 position of JH III.

1993 journal article
Developmental rate of juvenile hormone metabolism in Lepidoptera
American Zoologist, 33(3), 375.
TL;DR:
The topical application of this compound to last instar larvae and virgin adults of T. ni produced juvenizing effects (delayed pupation and induced egg maturation/oviposition, respectively) providing direct evidence of a functional role for JH esterase in lepidopteran development.

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON ENERGY-DISTRIBUTION DURING THE LAST-LARVAL STADIUM OF THE FEMALE HOUSE CRICKET, ACHETA-DOMESTICUS
JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 31(5), 371–378.
TL;DR:
At a lower temperature cricket larvae eat slightly more and reach the same maximal weight as at a higher temperature, but they end up smaller because they waste more energy during the extended duration of the stadium at the lower temperature.
