“…With most of the egg volume occupied by yolk, and the nucleus often found at the margin of the follicle (Fig. 12), the proximal end of the developing chorion began to "bud" within each follicle and the attachment organ (Cogley et al 1981) took shape ( Fig. 13 and 14).…”

“…Eggs of Oestroderma Portschinsky and Oestromyia Brauer have a star‐shaped gripping device (Grunin, 1965: Figs 142, 143, 180–183). Eggs of Hypoderma , Pavlovskiata , Przhevalskiana and Strobiloestrus also attach to the host hair by a clasping mechanism, and although this is situated on a stalked attachment organ (Grunin, 1965:Figs 272, 275, 297, 298, 318–321; Cogley et al . 1981: Figs 1–10), the coding is as for Gasterophilus (excluding pecorum ).…”

Summary The phylogeny of Oestridae was analysed at the generic level using 118 characters from all developmental stages and including morphology, ontogeny, physiology and behaviour. Four major clades were given subfamilial rank with the phylogenetic relationship (Cuterebrinae (Gasterophilinae (Hypodermatinae + Oestrinae))). The subdermal parasites of the African elephant, Neocuterebra squamosa Grünberg and Ruttenia loxodontis Rodhain, had their most probable affiliation subordinate to the clade of stomach parasites, although their exact position needs further investigation. Genus Ochotonia Grunin, which is known from a single third‐instar larva only, was the probable sister group of all other Hypodermatinae. Twenty‐five oestrid genera were recognised as valid and those containing more than one species were defined through lists of autapomorphies. Cuterebra Clark was proposed as a senior synonym of Alouattamyia Townsend, Andinocuterebra Guimarães, Pseudogametes Bischof and Rogenhofera Brauer. The clade of hypodermatine ungulate parasites (Hypoderma Latreille +Pallasiomyia Rubtzov +Pavlovskiata Grunin +Przhevalskiana Grunin +Strobiloestrus Brauer) remained largely unresolved, and genus Przhevalskiana emerged without defining characters.

“…The high complexity in the structural features of plant leaves (trichomes, wax crystals, stomata and cuticle foldings) and fruits (microcracks and epicuticular wax crystals) of various plant cultivars leads to rougher surfaces and increases the adhesion of the eggs of the codling moth Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae), as experimentally shown [ 44 , 45 ]. The egg attachment strength of the parasitic warble fly (Diptera, Hypoderminae) positively correlates to the roughness of the hairs on its host species [ 53 ]. Insect vectors of the human bot fly Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr., 1781) (Diptera, Oestridae) are covered with setae, which enhances egg adhesion for the human bot fly [ 54 ].…”

Leaf insects (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae) exhibit perfect crypsis imitating leaves. Although the special appearance of the eggs of the species Phyllium philippinicum, which imitate plant seeds, has received attention in different taxonomic studies, the attachment capability of the eggs remains rather anecdotical. We herein elucidate the specialized attachment mechanism of the eggs of this species and provide the first experimental approach to systematically characterize the functional properties of their adhesion by using different microscopy techniques and attachment force measurements on substrates with differing degrees of roughness and surface chemistry, as well as repetitive attachment/detachment cycles while under the influence of water contact. We found that a combination of folded exochorionic structures (pinnae) and a film of adhesive secretion contribute to attachment, which both respond to water. Adhesion is initiated by the glue, which becomes fluid through hydration, enabling adaption to the surface profile. Hierarchically structured pinnae support the spreading of the glue and reinforcement of the film. This combination aids the egg’s surface in adapting to the surface roughness, yet the attachment strength is additionally influenced by the egg’s surface chemistry, favoring hydrophilic substrates. Repetitive detachment and water-mediated adhesion can optimize the location of the egg to ensure suitable environmental conditions for embryonic development. Furthermore, this repeatable and water-controlled adhesion mechanism can stimulate further research for biomimeticists, ecologists and conservationalists.
