Additionally,taking of the water and minerals is also important for insects. Similarly, it is known that micronutrients also has an important function indevelomment process of insects. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient element limiting the growth of the insects has been asserted. Actually,leaf nitrogen content is an appropriate indicator to assess the quality of plants for many insect. Because, most of herbivore insects generallyprefer plants that has high nitrogen content as their food. Insects show three reactions to imbalancing foods. They can alter the total amount ofingested food; they can move to another food that has different nutrient balance; or they can regulate the effectiveness of nutrients. Theinformation taken from insect groups show that haemolymph has an important role in food balancing mechanisms of insects.
