Corpus allatum of the adult. It develops from the larval corpus allatum, which migrates posteriorly during metamorphosis (Dai and Gilbert, 1991). It is located dorsal to the aorta (and the corpus cardiacum) and is connected to the corpus cardiacum by the short nervus corpora allatum (Nassel and Zandawala, 2020). It produces juvenile hormone (Nassel and Zandawala, 2020).
