Figures 1–4. 1(A) A rearing container for proturans; and (B) a container cut in half, showing inside. See text.
Abbreviations: aFplastic case; b; cFlid and vessel of the unglazed ceramic case; dFdead leaf pieces; eFwet, piled
tissue papers; arrowheadFepoxy resin plugging the hole of the ceramic vessel or miniature flowerpot. Scales ¼ 10 mm.
2. Imaginal B. densus gathering around the mycerial ‘‘bush’’ (arrowheads) grown thick on a dead leaf piece in the
rearing container. Scale ¼ 500 mm. 3. (A) Imaginal B. densus, gathering around and feeding on mycerial strands
(arrowheads); and (B) enlargement, showing that an individual sticks its rostrum into a mycerial strand (arrow).
Scales ¼ 1 mm (A); 100 mm (B). 4. A B. densus egg, which was found to be deposited on a dead leaf piece in the rearing
container. The eggs were snow-white in color, nearly spherical spheroidal, and about 130 mm in diameter, with many
protuberances of various sizes and shapes on their surface. Many extrinsic microorganisms (arrowheads) such as
bacteria and fungi (myceria) adhere to the egg surface. Scale ¼ 10 mm.
