Abstract
ABSTRACT Oviposition in Oncopeltus fasciatus shows a daily periodicity, eggs being laid 4–10 h after light onset. In constant light the inter-ovipositional interval is temperature dependent, being about 12 h at 28 °C and 27 h at 23 °C. Ovariectomized females began to display normal ovipositional behaviour and attempt oviposition after hypertrophy of the fat body. Ovariectomized females attempt to oviposit 4–10 h after light onset, just as do normal intact females, indicating that control of the time of oviposition lies, at least in part, outside the ovary.
