Larvae were incubated in Semi-Defined Food containing 50% U-13C-glucose or 64% (10 mg/mL) of U-13C-proline (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Metabolites were detected using GC-MS, and the labeled fraction was calculated as reported previously (39). The isotopologue distributions were corrected based on the natural abundance of elements.
