Abstract: Laboratory studies on the mating behavior of the navel orangeworm, Paramyelois transitella (Walker) showed that mating is stimulated by a twilight period. Multiple mating is not uncommon, but males tend to mate more readily with virgin females. Oviposition begins on the second day after mating and reaches a peak on the eighth day.
