| Cercyonis pegala olympus ♀ ovipositing (note egg ejected from end of abdomen and falling to ground) USA: COLORADO: Douglas Co., upper Mitchell Gulch at Founders Village, 26-VIII-2011 "This female was ovipositing by landing in clumps of grass, finding a good perch, and shooting eggs through the air; they would free-fall to the ground. It took about 15 minutes and many failed attempts to obtain this image.." Andy Warren |
