Haemolymph of Philosamia ricini is a water reservoir which maintains homeostasis. When the insect is exposed to stresses naturally then it passes through various changes in biochemical composition. Fifth instar larvae of eri silk worm Philosamia ricini were kept under thermal stress of low and high temperature to observe the changes in carbohydrates, proteins and free amino acids. At high temperature carbohydrates showed a significant increase and a significant decrease at low temperature. Proteins and amino acids showed a significant decrease at high temperature and increase at low temperature.
