I thought you might be interested in THIS.

Cheers

P.S. - There's a correction to that paper which hasn't been incorporated, yet:

"Expression of Cmdsx in mandibles of large males was at most 1.3 times that of mandibles in small males (during Stage 2; Fig. 3C)"

This should be corrected to

"Expression of Cmdsx in mandibles of large males was at most 1.3 times that of mandibles in small males (during Stage 4; Fig. 3C)"

Bill,

There is another paper by the same team that I was looking at a few months ago, while researching chemical ways to grow majors.

The title of the paper is Juvenile hormone regulates extreme mandible growth in male stag beetles. The experiment uses C. Metallifer beetles as well.

Juvenile hormone has been used as well to make silk moths go into an L4s and be much larger.

Fenoxycarb is (JGH) they show the amounts they use and pictures of the treated and untreated pupae and beetles.
