The intermediate segments of the Malpighian tubules of Aeshna larvae are composed of lipocytes densely filled with triglyceride droplets. The lipid droplets arise in the first instar larva from a redistribution of unconsumed mesenteronic yolk lipid. Later on, the renal lipid store receives substantial contributions from dietary lipids and is finally depleted during emergence of the imago.
