Description:

In this ventral view, the small ovigerous legs can be seen on the underside of the first body segment (left side, just to the right of the proboscis). Here the animal is extending its other, walking legs upward and away from the camera. The proboscis is to the left. Females of some families lack ovigerous legs and in other families they are reduced in females.
