The eggs were laid on the underside of the leaf of Carex shimidzensis Franch. et Saw. at the height of about 17.4cm above the surface of the water. The egg-batch was light yellowish brown with brown color on the upper end of each egg and elongated in shape with 1 layer of eggs consisting of about 241 eggs. One female was observed to lay eggs at around 2 : 00 P.M., taking 78min to complete one egg-batch of 219 eggs. Hanging posture for oviposition was taken with its head directing slightly upwards.
