Life history traits of Culicoides insignis adult females under laboratory conditions. a Blood-feeding rates on live chicken (± 95% CI). Numbers above bars indicate the number of blood-fed midges/total number of midges. b Number of eggs deposited (mean ± SE). Asterisk indicates that a significantly higher (marginally; P = 0.0780) number of eggs were deposited on mud substrates compared to DI controls. c Percentage of egg batch deposited (mean ± SE). Asterisk indicates a significantly lower percentage of eggs were deposited during DI versus DI trials (on both dishes combined) than during other experiment trials). d Percentage of females that deposited eggs on one or both dishes (± 95% CI). Numbers above bars indicate the number of females depositing eggs on one or both dishes/total number of females that oviposited. Abbreviations: CI, Confidence interval; DI, deionized water; SE, standard error
