Testes of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, secrete ecdysteroid in vitro during the silk-spinning pharate pupa stage and in mid to late adult development during the pupal stage. Low titers (3-6 pg/pl) of exogenous 20-hydroxyecdysone are required to elicit endogenous ecdysteroid production. Testis ec

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
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
