Having found a suitable site, the female begins to build a nest. A separate sector is created for each egg. A few days later, offspring are born from the eggs, young individuals gnaw the lid, get out.
#8 When males fertilize females, they die.
When the female breeds offspring, she also dies. Further, closer to autumn, the mating season occurs in young individuals.

Females that are not fertilized die.
