Creator Transcript
  • Goldstream L. [Lake] Aug [August] 16/40 [1940]. clasping pairs had the [female symbol]'s pregnant. A few pairs were actually copulating. It is rare to find a female with a well advanced embryo that is not copulating [word crossed out] clasping. It looks to me as if the male clasped the female continually without himself feeding for at least the last several weeks of pregnancy + copulation followed rapidly after parturition. Females with very small embryos were uniformly without consorts The presence of the [male symbol] is not necessary for the discharge of the pupa. In all 19 puparia were discharged by [female symbol]'s on this deers head + neck. At least half of them were white when discharged + very premature. Only 2 of them turned black, the rest have remained brown. A white larva discharged at 8 A.M. is at 3:30 just going black down the dorsal + ventral areas, sides take almost 8 hrs [hours] longer. Sizes of these puparia are 2 mm [millimetres] - 8; 2.1 mm - [millimetres] 5; 2.2 mm [millimetres] - 6.
