Abstract Platycnemis pennipes deposits eggs into plant tissue at or just below the water surface. On a number of different plant species egg deposition rate was found to be similar, while oviposition duration varied. Eggs were not always to be found in the substrate after a female had probed the substrate with her ovipositor. Actual oviposition took place only during longer stays.
