Resumo: | Among insects polyandrous behavior is common and plays an important role in female reproductive output. The present study aimed to evaluate the mating frequency of the moth Cerconota anonella Sepp under laboratory conditions and to verify if polyandrous behavior is common in this species. Approximately 47% of females mated more than once. However they presented differences in the mating period (early or late). In general, precocious females were more frequent than late females (P &lt; 0.001, Binomial test). Such results suggest that polyandry in C. anonella may be common in the field.
