Models for clutch size in species where a female deposits eggs into a larval resource of limited carrying capacity are developed. Previous models of clutch size related mainly to vertebrates (notably birds) where parentel care limits clutch size. Our models cover cases were a single female saturates a larval food patch with larvae.
