Does anyone have any information regarding the eggs and oviposition in Astomella hispaniae? A few days ago I collected a female and she started ovipositing. The eggs are very interesting and have a membrane around them that is very fragile and breaks relatively easy when touched. I made a small (and very shaky...) video of the oviposition. Does the membrane enable the egg to disperse more easily? YouTube Video Rui Andrade attached the following image:  [111.62Kb] Edited by Rui Andrade on 05-06-2015 00:47 |
