Calling behavior of two different field populations of Phyllocnistis citrella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae): Effect of age and photoperiod
Florida Entomologist 85 (2), 378-381
Abstract: The effect of age and photoperiod on the calling behavior of Phyllocnistis citrella was studied. P. citrella is sexually active at dawn. Activation is presumably caused by the cumulative time elapsed since sunset. Onset calling time was not affected by the age of moths, but the proportion of females calling increased with age.
