After this period, the ootheca is ejected and the larvae free themselves from the embryonic covering. During the preoviposition period and during gestation sexual receptivity of females is inhibited. [9] Both sexes have fully developed wings, but can be distinguished in that the females have a much larger subgenital plate than the males. [12]
The preoviposition period lasts 16 days and eggs tend to be laid in ponds or calmer lakes rather than fast-flowing streams. The eggs are attached to plants or other suspended objects within the water column. They are elongate ovals, usually 1.7 mm x 0.6 mm. The incubation period lasts 5–14 days and oviposition is continuous in summer. [11]
The preoviposition period is about 8 to 17 days. During oviposition, female lays eggs singly, or up to ten eggs together, on the leaf surface or in tendrils of host plants. Eggs are flat on host leaves, or sometimes attached to or inserted into tendrils. [ 5 ]

The newly emerged female grasshopper has a preoviposition period of a week or two while she increases in weight and her eggs mature. After mating, the female of most species digs a hole with her ovipositor and lays a batch of eggs in a pod in the ground near food plants, generally in the summer.
