1. Pegomya nigritarsis Zetterstedt in a gregarious leaf-mining fly attacking Rumex sp. The larvae from one clutch of eggs all inhabit the same mine. 2. Egg-batch size varies between host plants and is correlated with leaf size. 3. On Rumex obtusifolius L. larval survival as a function of clutch size was measured in the field. This measure was incorporated in an optimal clutch size model and a clutch size prediction obtained. 4. The predicted optimal clutch size, three, is the most frequently found in the field.
