Abstract
The turning response of a courted, sexually receptive female Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) moth is elicited by a sex pheromone that can be extracted from the forewings of males. Females will respond to the odor cue alone in the absence of tactile and visual cues. The response is elicited most readily from strongly calling females during the first 2 h of the scotophase.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
