Abstract. Flea beetles are characterized by their tendency to jump. They can also fly. First, the effects of starvation on flight activity in the flea beetle, Phyllotreta nemorum L. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) were determined. After starving P. nemorum for five days a greater number of individuals of both sexes flew than when fed continuously for the same period. In addition, the effect of the mating status of females of P. nemorum on their movement was determined. Mated females were more active than virgin females. It is concluded that starvation stimulates the flight activity of both sexes and mating activates the movement of females of P. nemorum.

“…Female C. molesta significantly outperformed males with respect to flight parameters measured. However, Homona magnanima Diakonoff (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) females also flew for significantly longer time periods than males (Shirai et al, 1998). This is in contrast to the tethered flight of the related species C. pomonella, in which males and females displayed similar flight levels (Schumacher et al, 1997).…”

Cydia molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a major pest of stone fruits and an increasingly important late season pest of apple, is predominately monitored by pheromone trapping of male moths. We investigated flight performance in relation to sex, age, and mating status using computer-linked flight mills, and also examined the relationship between female flight and reproduction. The crepuscular flight pattern of the experimental moths in relation to photointensity was very similar to that reported from field studies. Female moths significantly outperformed males in all measured flight parameters including total distance flown, distance of longest single flight, and velocity. The proportion of long-flying females (categorised as those completing an unbroken flight of greater than 1 km) was three to six times greater than that of males. Female flight performance was not related to mating status, but mated males displayed significantly greater flight than unmated males. The maximal flight period of mated females commenced on the third day after eclosion, following 30% egg deposition. Male flight was not significantly related to age. The data suggest that a limited proportion of the population, in particular females, may have the capacity to make inter-orchard flights. The limitations of monitoring C. molesta populations in apple orchards solely by pheromone trapping of males are discussed.

“…So far, the flight speed, duration and distance of moths have been measured or estimated mainly using a flight mill (Noda and Kamano, 1988;Shirai, 1991Shirai, , 1998Shumacher et al, 1997;Shirai et al, 1998;Shirai and Kosugi, 2000;Ishiguri and Shirai, 2004). Using the method, the flight speed (m/min) of virgin females was recorded as follows, Spodoptera litura (50-60), Plutella xylostella ( We were not able to record the flight behavior of all other individuals in the dark to estimate their flight speed, and could not compare the flight pattern of this virgin female with that of other females, including mated females.…”
