Wax Worm/P. larvae LD50

From 3-21-15.

It has been three days since I injected 20 wax worms with 2000 P. larvae spores (the highest concentration I could get so far), but none of the wax worms have died so far. None even look to be ill or lethargic. Most of them have begun to pupate and form cocoons, which is a phenomenon that I have noticed to occur with all WW injected with anything (even the PBS-only) at about this time after injection.

I will continue to monitor their survival in the coming days.
