The Wax Moth Pheromone, Moth Influence, and Associated Glands
View through CrossRef
The wax moth male secretes various pheromones to attract the female for
mating. The volatiles induce species-specific influence, which modulates the behaviour
of other members of the same species. The primary pheromones include nonanal and
undecanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, decanal, undecanol, and 6, 10, 14 -
trimethylpentadecanon-2. The specific chemicals are secreted by a pair of glands on the
forewings of the male moth in the greater and lesser wax moth. These volatiles are
essential for the adult stage and plays a critical role in larval and pupal aggregation.
The specific chapter elaborates on the chemical composition of the pheromones, their
influence on the conspecific individuals, and their role in modulating the mating
behaviour, in the case of the greater wax moth (GWM) and the lesser wax moth
(LWM).<br>
