In culture, creamy-white and minutely reticulate eggs (length, +0.81–0.90 mm +, ‾ + +x +¼ + +0.86 6 +0.04 mm +; width, +0.27–0.30 mm +, ‾ + +x +¼ + +0.29 6 +0.01 mm +; n +¼ +10) were attached individually onto the surfaces of leaves of Brazilean elodea. Incubation was 10–11 days. Some egg mortality occurred because of damage caused by herbivory on the surface of leaves by small physid snails, unintentionally introduced into the oviposition vessels on elodea fragments. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
