Hydrocarbons were extracted from the surface of the cuticle and from the hemolymph of adult female gypsy moths. GC and GC/MS analysis indicated that the cuticular hydrocarbons with chain lengths >21 carbons were the same as those found in the hemolymph. These consisted of mostly saturated straight c
The production of sex pheromone in many moths is regulated by the neuropeptide PBAN (pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide). Studies in a number of species have shown that pheromone production can be linked to a hemolymph factor and that continuity in the ventral chain of ganglia is not req
