Oviposition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oviposition is the process of laying eggs by oviparous animals.
Some arthropods, for example, lay their eggs with an organ called ovipositor.
Reptiles or birds or monetremata also lay eggs.
A major issue for human health is the prevention of oviposition by malaria-bearing anopheles mosquitos. Suggested methods include using floating plants to cover the surface of bodies of standing water.
