“…Male wings overlapping over female wings during copulation have been previously observed in B. thurberiella (Lingren et al 1980). In summary, we have gained a better understanding of the mating behavior of the citrus leafminer and clarified some discrepancies in the literature.…”

“…Some features of the calling and courtship behavior in P. citrella females, particularly wing movements, were previously observed in Lymantria dispar (L.) (Charlton & Cardé 1990), Mamestra configurata Walker (Howlander & Gerber 1986), and Bucculatrix thurberiella Busck (Lingren et al 1980). Male wings overlapping over female wings during copulation have been previously observed in B. thurberiella (Lingren et al 1980).…”

Bases Comportamentais para a Identificação e Síntese do Feromônio Sexual do Minador-dos Citros,Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)RESUMO -O objetivo desta pesquisa foi caracterizar o comportamento sexual do minador-doscitros, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, como suporte para o isolamento, identificação e síntese do seu feromônio sexual. O acasalamento de P. citrella ocorre no intervalo entre 1h antes do início da fotofase e 1h após o término da escotofase, entre adultos de um e dois dias de idade. O comportamento de corte e cópula foi descrito para essa espécie, sendo a duração média da cópula de 49,6 min. Estudos conduzidos em olfatômetro tipo Y demonstraram que os machos foram fortemente atraídos pelas fêmeas virgens bem como pelo extrato natural de glândulas de feromônio sexual das fêmeas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Comportamento sexual, comportamento de corte e cópula, olfatômetro tipo Y ABSTRACT -The objective of this work was to characterize the sexual behavior of the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, as the foundation for the isolation, identification, and synthesis of the complete sex pheromone of this species. Mating occurred in a time window of 2h, starting 1h before the onset of photophase. The large majority of tested insects mated in the first two days after emergence, with no significant difference between mating at day 1 and day 2. A stereotypical courtship and copulation behavior were described for this species. When mating was successful, the copulation was recorded in average for 49.6 min. In Y-olfactometer tests conducted at the time of mating activity, males were strongly attracted to caged virgin females as well as to extracts from putative pheromone glands.

“…Esse padrão de comportamento foi observado também em Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) que se acasala próximo ao meio-dia (Proshold & Bernon 1994) e em Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechidae) com acasalamento no período da manhã (Uchoa-Fernandes et al 1995). Entretanto, dentro da família Lyonetiidae, o período de acasalamento de L. coffeella difere daquele de Bucculatrix thurberiella Busck, que se acasala durante o período noturno, entre as 19:00h e 5:00h (Lingren et al 1980).…”

-Despite the importance of Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville) in coffee production worldwide, there is a lack of information on its reproductive biology. This knowledge will help in mass rearing, as well as support the development of behavioral control techniques for this insect. The purpose of the study was to determine the periodicity of mating and male capture and describe the mating behavior L. coffeella. In laboratory, we observed the periodicity of mating with virgin couples of different ages, zero to five days after emergence. Male activity was studied in a 0.7 ha coffee plantation, cv. Catuaí, where Delta traps were installed at 0.5 m above ground, using either virgin females or rubber septa lured with the synthetic sex pheromone. The sequence of mating behavior was studied by making visual observations and recorded of pairs placed on individual plastic tubes. Mating occurred between 4h and 6h of photophase, when the highest frequencies involved pairs with ages of one and three days after emergence, with peak of mating occurring in 5 th hour of photophase. The young or old pairs showed significantly copulation frequency and the peak of matings advance in 1h. The highest male capture occurred at 12p.m. and 13 p.m. by traps with virgin females or traps with synthetic sex pheromone lures, respectively. L. coffeella is one insect with diurnal mating and the mating behavior was not different from what is know for other Lepidoptera species.KEY WORDS: Reproduction, calling behavior, courtship, pheromone trap RESUMO -Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville) é praga-chave na cafeicultura; contudo, faltam informações sobre sua reprodução para o desenvolvimento de táticas de controle por comportamento. Este trabalho teve como objetivos determinar a periodicidade de cópulas; a periodicidade de captura dos machos e caracterizar o comportamento de acasalamento de L. coffeella. A periodicidade de acasalamento foi avaliada em laboratório com casais virgens de diferentes idades, zero a cinco dias após a emergência, individualizados em tubos transparentes. A periodicidade de captura foi avaliada em café cv. Catuaí, onde foram instaladas armadilhas Delta com dois atraentes: fêmeas virgens e septos de borracha impregnados com o feromônio sexual sintético. As etapas do comportamento de acasalamento foram descritas a partir de observação direta e de filmagens de casais virgens individualizados em tubos transparentes. Os acasalamentos ocorreram entre 4h e 6h da fotofase, onde as maiores freqüências envolveram casais com idades entre um e três dias da emergência, com pico de acasalamentos na quinta hora da fotofase. Os casais recém-emergidos ou velhos mostraram significativamente menor freqüência de cópulas e o pico dos acasalamentos antecipado em 1h. A maior captura ocorreu às 12:00h e 13:00h, nas armadilhas com fêmeas virgens e feromônio sexual sintético, respectivamente. Pelos resultados, L. coffeella é um inseto com acasalamento diurno e os comportamentos de chamamento e corte seguem o padrão encontrado em outr...

“…The daily activity patterns and behaviours of many butterflies (Kingsolver, 1985;Pivnick & McNeil, 1987) and several diurnally active moths (Brown, 1972;Dreisig, 1985) in nature have been described. However, for night active moths, most field studies have been carried out by the use of traps (Lewis & Taylor, 1964;Lange et al, 1971;Danthanarayana, t976) or in field cages (Lingren et al 1977(Lingren et al ,1980Lingren, 1983;Ramaswamy, 1990) (but see Gregory, 1989). Elucidation of spatial and temporal distributions of abundance are important for interpreting adult sampling estimates.…”

Diel activity pattern of a nocturnal moth, Zeiraphera canadensis, in nature

The spruce bud moth, Zeiraphera canadensis Mutt & Free. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), displayed a bimodal activity pattern in two young white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, plantations. During the day, when temperatures were highest and relative humidities lowest, most moths remained in the lower crown, presumably in response to the risk of hygrothermal stress and/or predation. Flight activity peaks occurred near dawn and dusk. Moths moved higher in the crowns shortly after sunset and many were observed flying above the tree canopy. This activity peak was associated with oviposition and mating. Oviposition started at sunset and continued for approximately 3 h. Females probed oviposition sites with their ovipositor before ovipositing, suggesting that they use sensillae on the ovipositor to evaluate potential oviposition sites. Most mating occurred between 22:00 and 04:00 h. Males hovered adjacent to branches containing females before alighting. After alighting, males usually approached to within 2–5 cm of females and then remained motionless for a short time before attempting mounting, indicating that some short‐range communication usually occurs prior to mating. Reduced flight activity between midnight and dawn was not due to low temperatures, which were above the minimal temperatures for flight for males (10 °C) and females (12 °C) determined in the laboratory.
