Subject: correcting for body size

Hello all,
I have linear measurements for eye area and body size in Drosophila. I
want to get residuals for eye area by regressing it on body size. Both
variables appear to have a straight-line relationship. my question is:
do i need to square my body size measurement before i regress it to eye
area even if they are both seemingly linearly related?
Any response would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Saad
