On passing from clean air into a homogeneous cloud of sex pheromone in a wind tunnel flying male Adoxophyes orana (F.v.R.) (Lepidoptera: Torticidae) turned upwind and reduced the time and distance between their switchings of track from 1 side of the wind line to the other. These responses became adapted under the constant pheromone stimulation in the cloud, thereby arresting upwind progress; but the adapted moths would not lock-on to an added pheromone plume and advance upwind along it. Moths also locked-on to the border of a pheromone cloud, not by turning back on losing the scent as previously supposed but by initiating the above program of small-amplitude, crosswind movements (reversing anemomenotaxis). The onset and cessation of the pheromone stimulus produced anemotactic responses that differed quantitatively within a continuum, not 2 distinct kinds of response as previously supposed. The behavioral mechanism whereby uniform permeation of an area with synthetic sex pheromone can prevent males from finding females is reconsidered.
