Which consequence results when molting hormone concentrations diminish prematurely in lepidopteran larval growth?

💡 Explanation

Prematurely low molting hormone triggers precocious metamorphosis involving reduced instar development because it accelerates imaginal disc differentiation rather than regulated sequential growth processes; therefore, earlier pupation occurs rather than typical larval maturation.
