The female preyed was on a log-block (Alnus japonica) built within a shallow wetland of this habitat. Half of the body, including egg strings just before oviposition, was dropped off the block into the wetland. Whitish-colored, convoluted oviducts were discernible around the center of the photograph. Note beautiful, red spots on the skin.
