Question

Name one arthropoda which is ovoviviparous

Open in App
Solution

Ovoviviparity, in which fertilized eggs containing yolk and enclosed in some form of eggshell are incubated inside the reproductive tract of the female. This occurs in some cockroaches (Blattidae), some aphids and scale insects (Hemiptera), a few beetles (Coleoptera) and thrips (Thysanoptera), and some flies (Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and Tachinidae). The fully developed eggs hatch immediately after being laid or just prior to ejection from the female’s reproductive tract.

thus examples are cockroaches (Blattidae), some aphids and scale insects (Hemiptera), a few beetles (Coleoptera) and thrips (Thysanoptera), and some flies (Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and Tachinidae) as they are also arthropods.
