Bemerkung | Comprises approximately 90% of adult diet. When feeding on Carpophyllum spp., the reproductive bunches and thalli were removed by a bite followed by a sideways flick of the head. Reporductive bunches form the bulk of the diet of Odax pullus during the fruting season of Carpophyllum spp. (Ref. 34014). |
