Excerpt from The Canadian Entomologist, Vol. 17 The eggs are oval, yellowish white and semi-transparent, and are buried beneath the skin of the raspberry leaf near the ribs and veins, placed there by means of the saw-like apparatus situated at the extremity of the body of the female, by which slits are cut in the tissues of the leaf. The skin covering the egg is so transparent that the movements of the enclosed larva may be observed several days before it is hatched. It escapes through an irregular hole made on one side of the egg. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
