i5K Comments for Tenebrio molitor
Tenebrio molitor is essentially Tribolium castaneum writ large. It is a model coleopteran for insect immunity studies owing to its large size and the ability to recover useful quantities of haemolymph (unlike tribolium). It is also a pest of stored products and poultry feed. Almost all of our knowledge of coleopteran immunity comes from studies using T. molitor. Paul R Johnston
