• It was defined as the period of time until the first eggs with fully-developed first instar larvae were visible in different female age classes.

• To obtain infested fruits, a third instar larva was placed into a small plastic dish (diameter 17 mm, height 11 mm).

• Cattle were infested artificially with 2 x 10000 larvae and the engorging adult females counted.

• Possibly emerging young larvae still sustained some nutritive reserves from the egg stage.

• Many of these doomed larvae had crawled onto the sides of the vial rather than remaining on the food.

• Captive agoutis and squirrels readily ate larvae when presented without the surrounding endocarp, and preferred larvae to seeds.
