Which instar results if ecdysone declines before competence?

💡 Explanation

A failed larval pupal transition happens because low ecdysone prevents pupal commitment. Larval-larval molting continues rather than ceasing, therefore, resulting in delayed molting into more larval stages, instead accelerating metamorphosis into a pupa stage.
