Which risk increases when a larval insect experiences ecdysteroid exhaustion?

💡 Explanation

Premature termination of pupal cuticle formation occurs because the molting hormone ecdysteroid drives gene expression changes. This causes cuticle synthesis, therefore diminished ecdysteroid results in incomplete pupation, rather than proper adult development, unregulated organogenesis, or increased fertility.
