During the Triassic, central Virginia was a rift basin. [1] Brachiopods were still present in Virginia during the Mesozoic. [4] On land, the early Mesozoic plants of Virginia included Equisetales, gymnosperms, Cycadeles, cycads, and conifers. This flora is almost identical to that from contemporary deposits in North Carolina. [4]
The adults mate, and within 7 to 10 days, the female deposits her eggs and then dies. Each female deposits approximately 150 eggs, usually on the underside of conifer needles. Eggs are laid in one to three-row masses containing a few to 130 eggs, with an average of 25 to 40 eggs per mass. Larvae hatch from eggs in about 10 days.

The wood of gymnosperms such as pines and other conifers is mainly composed of tracheids. [2] Tracheids are also the main conductive cells in the primary xylem of ferns. [3] The tracheid was first named by the German botanist Carl Gustav Sanio in 1863, from the German Tracheide. [4]
