Synopsis
Excerpt from Using Mating Disruption to Manage Gypsy Moth: A Review
The gypsy moth is univoltine, that is, has one generation per year, and the mating season occurs over a 3-6 week period in late summer. Most mating normally occurs daily between 1000-1700 hours. Some males mate more than once, and some of the males do not mate at all (mastro A small portion (about of the females in dense populations, and an unknown but probably small percentage in sparse populations, mate more than once. Females are capable of high pheromone release rates for 3 days but then their ability to release pheromone and mate decreases. Once mated, females stop releasing pheromone and begin ovipositing. Umnated females near the end of their life will lay unfertilized eggs.
