It responds to the presence of an egg in the ovipositor and its activity extends burrowing behavior during egg laying (Cury and Axel, 2023). Its axon projects to the abdominal neuromere, where it has ventral arborizations (Cury and Axel, 2023). There are two of these cells on each side (Cury and Axel, 2023).
