Detailed explanation-1: -The ovipositor is a tubular structure that is used for laying eggs. The ovipositor is attached to the abdomen of insects and the eggs pass down the tube.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insect eggs develop within the ovaries, the reproductive structures of the female that are composed of tapering units called ovarioles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ovipositor is an ultra-thin organ, shaped like a flexible hollow needle, used by parasitic wasps to lay their eggs in trees or live hosts. Inside this delicate organ is a series of tiny blades that join together with a tongue-and-groove mechanism.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ovipositor, or egg-laying organ in the female, is often very long and may be modified for piercing, sawing, or stinging. Metamorphosis is complete; i.e., the insect develops through four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
