A double with daf-2 and daf-12 gives an arrest as L2 at 25C, which
recovers at 15C. daf-2 has synthetic phenotypes with many genes, so this
genotype may be hard to work with, depending on your needs. Also, are
there any strong ts eat mutants? these may arrest as starved L1s because
they can't feed, but may resume when the temp shift.
