| Abstract: | When allowed a choice of 13 emergent plants in a natural situation along a lake edge near Auburn, Alabama, Chrysops spp. oviposited most frequently on Pontederia cordata. Fewer egg-masses were laid on Leersia oryzoides, Peltandra virginica and Ludwigia peploides, and still fewer on the 9 remaining plants tested. Egg-masses were deposited only on water plants that were not surrounded by other close growing vegetation. |
