How to use INSTAR in a sentence

• The first instar differs, however, from the adult in one conspicuous and noteworthy feature, it possesses no trace of wings.
• Having been formed beneath the cuticle of the wing-rudiments of the penultimate instar, the wings are necessarily abbreviated and crumpled.
• Wing-rudiments appear, however, in an early instar as visible outgrowths on the thoracic segments, and become larger after each moult.
• The penultimate instar of this sex in which the wing-rudiments are visible externally lies passively beneath the scale, its behaviour resembling that of a butterfly pupa.
• The penultimate instar is quiescent and does not feed.
• But it is clear that only in the pupa, forming beneath the cuticle of the last larval instar, can they grow outwards.
• The last larval instar again has short legs like the grub of the second period.
