Technical Abstract:
To isolate clean intact eggs for use as protein standards in a yolk protein ELISA, an oviposition substrate for O. insidiosus was devised by forming water-filled domes from Parafilm. Eggs
deposited in substrates remained viable for at least 24 hr. In no-choice tests 0. insidiosus females oviposited 5.86 eggs/female/day into green beans and 3.06 into water-domes. In a choice test, O.
insidiosus females clearly preferred beans to domes (4.02 vs 0.03 eggs/female/18 hr).
