Which mechanism causes pre-pupal shedding instead of larval continuation in insects?

💡 Explanation

A sufficient drop in the secretion of Juvenile Hormone triggers a cascade of signaling termed hormonal regulation that leads to pupation because JH maintains larval characteristics, therefore, a decline rather than sustained levels initiates metamorphosis pathways rather than continued larval development.
