The median number of empty egg capsules at the beginning of a string was 15 (range 13-17) for B. carica and 5 (range 4-57) for B. canaliculatum. Additional features of the pattern are (a) the number of eggs reaches a plateau ( egg numbers neither increasing nor decreasing more than 5-15 eggs/capsule) by about capsule number 20 or 30, and (b) at the end of the string the number of eggs/capsule either gradually LU B. carica. 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 CAPSULE NUMBER LU B. canaliculatum.
