[The effect of the larva's host plant (Apium graveolens L.) on the egg-laying and the ovarian production of Philophylla heraclei L. (Dipters, Terphritidae)].
Celery leaves--hostplant for larvae--have no trophic importance for adults and are not a site of rendez-vous. But their presence, even for four hours a day, strongly stimulates ovarian production, independently from egg-laying which varies with leaves age.
