Abstract

Oviposition behavior, fecundity and egg size of Armigeres (Leicesteria) flavus were observed in the laboratory. Egg surface morphology was described using a scanning electron microscope. Females laid eggs in cluster on the hind tarsi. Clusters consisted of 17-38 eggs (mean=28.8). Mean egg length and width were 1, 136 μm and 211 μm, respectively.
