Note 3 — Chapter XII · THE WHITE-FACED DECTICUS: THE LAYING AND THE HATCHING OF THE EGGS
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
When everything is finished, I examine the little pits in which the Decticus placed her eggs. There are no packets in a foamy sheath, such as the Locust supplies; no cells either. The eggs lie singly, without any protection. I gather three score as the total product of one mother. They are of a pale lilac-grey and are drawn out shuttlewise, in a narrow ellipsoid five or six millimetres long.3
