The greatest activity of the weevil in depositing eggs was found 

 to be between the hours of 9 a. m. and 1 p. m., but certain numbers 

 of eggs were deposited at all times of the day and during the night. 



The average period from oviposition to the emergence of the adult 

 was practically 14 clays for each of the five generations. 



Seven complete generations were developed at Tallulah during the 

 season.
