Females of the species called rattlebox moths sniff out each other’s male-attracting pheromones and congregate, creating the pheromone-based equivalent of male frogs gathering in a pond to croak a ...

Researchers from the UvA and North Carolina State University have identified the specific mixture of pheromone chemicals that male moths use during courtship. The findings provide more detail about ...

Chewing gum companies might be on to something. At least, as long as you stick to spearmint-flavored gum — and you are a moth. Senior author Coby Schal, an urban entomology professor at North Carolina ...

A bioengineered oilseed plant can produce a moth sex pheromone molecule used to control insect pests. Pheromones are chemical signals that cause a behavioural response in members of the same or ...

Male moths have evolved intricate scale arrangements on their antennae to enhance detection of female sex pheromones, which allows them to keep their antennae small enough to maximise flying, new ...
