Glucose, trehalose, and glycogen content were measured in haemolymph and the body during larval development of the oriental corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenee). Glucose content varied in haemolymph, but in the body it gradually decreased at all larval stages. As the larva proceeds growth, the initial high level of trehalose increased further in haemolymph whereas the low level trehalose gradually decreased in the body. Glycogen levels in haemolymph rose gradually during larval growth whereas those in the body increased sharply at the two latter instar larval stages. It was apparent that there is an existence of a homeostasis in carbohydrate levels between haemolymph and the body
