Representative host (left) and parasitic (right) eggs showing the range of polymorphism among females. Each egg came from a different clutch. No parasitic gens is shown for the rattling cisticola because it is not currently parasitized at our study site. (Note: not to scale.). Date: 19 April 2011. Source: Claire N.
