(a) ovary of one-day-old female, (b) ovary of two-day-old female, (c) ovary of three-day-old, female, (d) ovary of four-day-old female, (e) ovary of five-day-old female, (f) ovary of six-day-old female, and (g) ovary of seven-day-old female. In this study, we found that the fecundity of one- to two-day-old I G. molesta i females was significantly lower than that of three to seven-day-old moths, and no eggs were oviposited by one- to two-day-old females.

For applying the SIT against moth species, we require that the immigration of wild moths into the treated areas be kept to a minimum, and that the sterile male can fly some distance to locate and mate the wild female moths [[41]].
