        After laying the eggs the
          female continues by tightening the roll.
           A male comes along and pays a visit on the leaf, anticipating her to be ready to mate after having laid eggs.  |

          Tighter and
          tighter the female packs the roll. Steadily she moves along
          the hind wall while in front, she keeps rolling the tight pack. 
           If she had a break now, the packed roll could loosen.  |

        Her adorer is trying hard,
          but she has an important task to finish: making a home for her kids.
           So his courtship remains unanswered.
