Abstract:		"The study shows that the mating peak of the overwintering generation adults of Ancylis sativa appeared at 6.0-8.0 hours in their scotophase and the mating activity was more intensive during 2-3 days after eclosion. The higher the temperature was, the later the adults began to mate. For most adults, the duration of mating was 3-4 hours, with a mean frequency of 3.3 times for males and 1.59 for females. The mating behavior of 2-days old adults shifted from photoperiod 14L:10D to continuous dark was similar to that at 14L:10D, all showing an obvious rhythm. When the adults were shifted to continuous light, their mating became inacitive and irregular. The sex pheromone titer of virgin female decreased significantly after mating 1 hour, and remained low until 48 hours after mating"
