Abstract
Male codling moths (Tortricidae: Laspeyresia pomonella L.), after anemotactic flight to synthetic sex pheromone, spent a significantly greater amount of time in close-range orientation to a dead female moth providing a visual cue than to the pheromone source. Thirty-three successful codling moth matings were analyzed to produce an ethogram depicting male and female behaviors occurring during courtship. The female sequence was highly variable, but the male sequence was not.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
