DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Clover-Root Curculio The female deposits promiscuously a large number of whitish eggs on the leaves and ground. Or even on the side of the cage when con fined. In the field eggs were found adhering to the lower leaves of both red clover and alfalfa. Ivithin less than a day these eggs change in color to a shining black. It is very probable, however that in the natural state the eggs are usually deposited at or near the surface of the ground. The egg period is 13 days in duration. The larvae immediately after hatching go down into the ground. Great. Trouble was experienced in getting eggs to hatch in rearing cages, and it seems from this that there may possibly be some other a's yet unknown condition entering into egg deposition in the field.
