“…Females emerge with a complete complement of eggs and are mated immediately upon emergence; in some of these species, males await female emergence and pounce upon them for copulation, attempting to copulate with females that have eclosed partially from the pupal exuviae. These species do not feed as adults, are generally monandrous (e.g., gypsy moth; Proshold and Bernon, 1994), and do not exhibit post-mating stimulation of egg production. The second group, exemplified by pyralid moths such as Plodia interpunctella, is partly dependent on metamorphic hormonal events.…”

“…It is known that male factors, transported to the female during mating, temporarily suppress the female receptivity (Raabe, 1986) and the status of the male involved in mating is, therefore, expected to affect the degree of suppression. When the male fitness is impaired by either detrimental rearing conditions (Proshold & Bernon, 1994), lower quality larval food (Delisle & Hardy, 1997), or by irradiation (Saour & Makee, 1999), female moths exhibit more willingness to remate than if they are provided more potent males.…”

“…A similar pattern is reported in Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lymantriidae). When this generally monandrous moth is abundant, 10-30% of the females mate more than once (Proshold & Bernon, 1994) because the sperm from the first mating does not reach the spermatheca (Giebultowicz et al, 1991). In our study, the female that mated twice with the same male was infertile, suggesting this may be due to the quality of the male.…”
