We did not collect egg sacs for the first seven days of any month in order to more accurately assign sacs with eggs to the correct month of
oviposition. At 29[degrees]C, brown widow eggs hatch in 9 days.
frugiperda feed together near the
oviposition site on parenchyma and their feeding leads to leaves becoming necrotic and translucent.
We evaluate ELMA as the number of
ovipositions NO at a given distance with the statistics:
In this paper, we investigate the reproductive behavior of the gonyleptid Chavesincola inexpectabilis Soares & Soares 1946 (Heteropachylinae) and provide basic descriptive information about courtship, copulation,
oviposition, and paternal care of this species.
Our objective was to determine the effect of prescribed burning on Karner blues, and we used butterfly abundance surveys and
oviposition rates as measures of habitat use.
We compared 32 environment and
oviposition characteristics in two closely related grasshoppers from opposite environments: Romalea microptera from the Florida Everglades wetlands vs Taeniopoda eques from the Chihuahuan Desert.
Key words: Ecdytolopha torticornis,
oviposition, sampling, macadamia, Costa Rica.
Oviposition in close proximity to conspecifics.--At Pond 1 81.7% of 202
ovipositions were performed by lone pairs and 18.3% by groups of 2-4 pairs per 1-[m.sup.2] plot.

After an exposure period of 4 months, when seedlings were infested with both immature and mature lobate lac scale, they were used for parasitoid observation and
oviposition tests.
We investigated correlations of these variables with female cephalothorax area ([mm.sup.2]), female weight after
oviposition, spiderling weight, average of natural temperature and relative humidity during the incubation period, and the time between consecutive
ovipositions.
There is no information on the
oviposition behavior of T curvicauda in relation to fruit of the cuaguayote tree; this study is the first report of characteristics of cuaguayote fruits selected by T curvicauda for
oviposition.
