ABSTRACT

Light stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N, δ2H, and δ18O) of Ectropis grisescens (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a destructive tea leaf‐eating pest, were measured at different developmental stages. Isotope values of larval instars, pupae, and adult moth body tissues were determined to understand fractionation patterns at different life stages and to evaluate dietary isotopic change from food to insect to excrement.
