Description

The basic aspects of the biology of the weta, Hemiandrus sp. (Orthoptera : Stenopelmatidae) were studied in an orchard, Horotane Valley, and in the laboratory during 1976 and 1977. The differences between preferred and least preferred ovi-position sites were investigated. Egg collections from the orchard showed that the mean fecundity was 50 ± 8 eggs. Fertility was in excess of 90 percent. The eggs have a winter quiescence and the presence of contact water was essential for egg development
