Notes

Newly moulted virgin females of Panagrellus redivivus Goodey attract and are attracted to adult males, whereas ageing virgin females slowly lose their attractiveness but remain responsive. Fourth-stage F larvae and females that have copulated neither attract nor respond to adult males. Like sexes do not attract each other.
