Popis:	Wild female Porthetria dispar adults emitted attractant at any time of day but made a maximal release between 1000–1530 h. Pheromone emission is greatest during the first 3 days of a virgin female's adult life and after the 3rd day decreases until death. Wild females emit a burst of pheromone, as much as 841 ng/30 min, once in their life, usually on the 2nd or 3rd day. After the burst the amount of lure emitted decreases rapidly. Unlike wild females, laboratory-reared (lab) females show no diel periodicity in pheromone emission, and release very small amounts of pheromone (4.9 ng/30 min). Laboratory and field bioassays indicated that approximately 30% of both sexes of lab moths either did not respond to pheromone or released no detectable amount of lure, compared with 9% sexual inactivity in wild moths.
