Behaviour
[edit | edit source]Female individuals of E. posticus have been known to survive for up to 360 days on just water.[2] They mate just after hatching, once the wings have expanded but before the cuticle has hardened. Females have been known to kick at the intersexual junction during intercourse.[3]
