“…He reported that in old females calling was initiated as early as the 2nd h of the scotophase in a few females and the duration of the calling period was about 280 min. Chisholm et al (1975) had found that calling occurred during the last half of the scotophase in M. configurata. Thus, almost all of the calling takes place during the last two-thirds of the scotophase at all ages in this species.…”

The calling posture, diel periodicity of calling, calling pattern, photoperiodic cue of calling, and endogenous circadian rhythm of calling were studied in virgin females of the bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata Walker, at 20°C, 60% RH, and a 16 h light: 8 h dark photoperiod. The female had a definite calling posture: the ovipositor was extruded and curved downward at an angle of about 45°, the wings were raised above the abdomen in the form of a “V”, the antennae were directed posteriorly and held close to the sides of the thorax, and the abodmen was bent so that the two ends were raised slightly and the middle was lowered. Calling had a discrete diel periodicity, occurring in the last two-thirds of the scotophase. The calling pattern was characteristic of the continuous pattern of calling. The lights-off signal was the photoperiodic cue responsible for setting the timing of the diel periodicity of calling. The circadian rhythm of calling was endogenously based.

“…Mamestra configurata was trapped with the two-component A. orbis pheromone blend, again in one test. Z11216:Ac is the major component of the M. configurata pheromone (Chisholm et al 1975) but there are no reports that in this species Z7214:Ac is part of the pheromone or is a co-attractant with Z11216:Ac. These nontarget species of moths were not consistently captured in our experiments, and captures varied in size by location and year.…”

Trap response of cutworm moths (Abagrotis orbis) to a sex-attractant lure in grape vineyards

et al. 2010

Larvae of Abagrotis orbis (Grote) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are climbing cutworms and can damage grapevines, Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae), in early spring by consuming expanding buds. A sex attractant would be useful for monitoring this insect in commercial vineyards. (Z)-7-Tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate were found in extracts of female abdominal tips. In multiple field experiments, male A. orbis were captured in traps baited with a combination of these two chemicals but not in traps baited with either chemical alone. Males were trapped from mid-September to early October in south-central Washington and south-central British Columbia. Other noctuid moths (Mamestra configurata Walker, Xestia c-nigrum (L.), and Feltia jaculifera (Guenée)) were also captured in traps baited with the A. orbis pheromone and may complicate the use of this lure to monitor A. orbis. Abagrotis discoidalis (Grote) was captured in traps baited with (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate but not in traps baited with the two chemicals together.
