Author's comments:
En el canasto de la foto podría haber una larva o una hembra adulta ya que las hembras conservan la forma de larva sin alas, permanecen en el canasto hasta que un macho, alado de vida libre, las fecunda introduciendo su abdomen en el canasto.
Este canasto está sobre una Chilca de olor (Austroeupatorium inulifolium).
