I am preparing a manuscript on levels of haemolymph sugars in insects. I would not like to left out good studies from the literature so I am giving you the opportunity to bring to my attention papers that I may have missed. Thank you very much for your time.
alpha-Trehalose, rhamnose,fructose, glycogen, glucose. but trehalose if identified as a major blood sugar of insects. Haemolymph sugar levels depend on metabolic rate and
Foraging bees collect controlled amounts of sucrose and fructose from plant nectarines

Hi Pablo! you can contact David Giron at the IRBI. He is measuring nutrients in vegetal tissues and in insects with advanced techniques.
Un abrazo, Claudio
