Extract

This paper deals with the influence of bark moisture and temperature on the hehaviour of the egg-laying female within the host. Fecundity of the insect will he discussed, as well as internal changes associated with the behavioural pattern. The life-cycle, brood development, and time of flight was described in Part I of the present series. The behaviour during mating, egg laying, and gallery construction were described earlier (Reid 1958b).
