This series shows Watshamiella alata watching Sycoscapter cornutus oviposit into a Ficus burkei syconium (fruiting body) for over seven minutes; after the Sycoscapter female departs, the Watshamiella female proceeds to oviposit into the same hole. Compton et al. (2009) described this behaviour for different species of Watshamiella in Uganda and Kenya on Ficus sycomorus and Ficus artocarpoides.

25 Oct: Long, tidily constructed tube sticking up from a hole in the ground. No inhabitant activity seen.
The tube was removed and left next to the hole.
26 Oct: A new small tube had been started overnight. There had been some fiddling with the original tube.
27 Oct: A portion of the original tube had been cut off and attached to the short new tube.
29 Oct: Three more burrows and grass tunnels found in a 2x2m area around the original burrow.
The tube was removed from burrow 2. On re-inspection 4hrs later the burrow entrance had been concealed by cut grass pieces.
The tube was removed from burrow 4 - on re-inspection the entrance had been sealed with a very strong lattice of transparent threads.
30 Oct: Five more tubes found, total now 9 in an area of 4x4m.
20 Nov: Attempted excavation of larva resulted in the lower half of a larva being recovered.
21 Nov: Larva seen (and photographed) moving bits of vegetation in the early morning (04:53) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoVSiIsogcs
22 Nov: tubes continue to be repaired or replaced.
23 Nov: larva excavated in the early morning and housed, with its host plant, in a bucket covered with shadecloth.
28 Nov: a thorough search of the thick grass was done and 5 more tubes were discovered in the 4x4m area. Interestingly, one tube is considerably narrower than the regular sized tubes and another was found of an intermediate size.
10 Dec: no signs of the captive larva, found it dead and dry under the host grass.
18 Jan: Larvae still active - two damaged tubes were repaired on 18 and 22 Jan
16 March: live larva collected
5 Apr (approx): pupated. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/110835074
