Abstract

During a study of the larch casebearer Protocryptis sibiricella (Falkovitsh, 1964) in a forest-steppe larch forest of the Kuznetsk Alatau foothills, the existence of its sustained outbreaks was for the first time shown to depend on the behavior of adults during oviposition. The dispersal distance of the adults was experimentally assessed. The females preferred to lay eggs on the larch needles already damaged by the same species. The attractivity of needles damaged naturally by the pest and artificially was compared.
