21] same female as 17], engaged in the egg-laying process on Brachypodium sylvaticum. She showed a surprising behavior, by moving in reverse to the base of a host-plant leaf, without turning back. After laying an egg, she then walked a bit upwards and quickly flew away. She repeated the same behavior several times and occasionally nectared on Lotus. | |
