Adult Reproductive Behavior of the Leafcurling Midge Obolodiplosis Robiniae (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
The leafcurling midges Obolodiplosis robiniae (Hatdemann) collected as mature larvae or pupae were brought to the laboratory where they pupated in curled black locust leaves on the surface of moist soil. One to 2 wk later, adult eclosion showed a diel periodicity, peak male eclosion occurring between 02:00 and 04:00 hours. Within this period, peak eclosion typically occurred l-2h earlier than peak female eclosion. For males, wing fanning, mating, and flight first occurred, on average, 33, 35, and36 min after eclosion respectively. For virgin females, calling behavior and mating first occurred, on average, 17 and 33min after eclosion, respectively. Calling events were of variable duration (0.3-27 min) and occurred most frequently between 06:00 and 12:00 hours. Males mated many times, whereas females mated only once or twice.
