Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 1993, Vol. 95
Mature galls from the culture were cut from the plants and placed in containers from which emerging flies were captured early the following morning. Twenty pairs of flies were introduced into each aquarium at 7 am. The aquaria were then observed for three hours after which the cloth tops were removed, the plants examined under a microscope and any eggs counted. Results - Females quickly recognised B. Halimifolia as a suitable host plant and spent most of the time resting and ovipositing on it whilst males rested on the glass walls and the cloth covers.
