@article{Torchio1989InnestBA, title={In-nest biologies and development of immature stages of three Osmia species (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)}, author={P. F. Torchio}, journal={Annals of The Entomological Society of America}, year={1989}, volume={82}, pages={599-615} }
The in-nest biologies of Osmia lignaria propinqua Cresson, Osmia californica Cresson, and Osmia montana montana Cresson are, for the first time, described based on information obtained from within observation boxes placed in field and greenhouse environments. Cell construction, provisioning, and egg deposition are described in detail and in a comparative format. Embryogenesis, egg eclosion, molting, immature development, and cocoon construction also are described for each species based on… CONTINUE READING
