Photo information: The three photos on this page were taken by Dr. Victor Gapud, University of the Philippines, Los Banos, Philippines. They were taken around the 20th of October, 2005 in the Institute of Plant Breeding garden on the UPLB campus. He indicated that the plant hosts were Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil) and Osimum tenuiflorum (holy basil), and that there were numerous individuals on the reproductive parts of the plant.
