Resume

Les regroupements deDysdercus cingulatus sont fréquents dans la nature.

L'étude expérimentale du grégarisme chez les insectes étant souvent difficile à interpréter statistiquement, une méthode originale a été expérimentée par micro-ordinateur.

D'autre part, l'importance du thigmotactisme et des stimuli olfactifs a été mis en évidence. Les résultats obtenus sont analysés et discutés.

Summary

Aggregations ofDysdercus cingulatus frequently occur in nature.

The experimental study of insect gregariousness is often difficult to explain with statistical measurements, therefore an original method has been tested with a microcomputer.

Besides, the importance of thigmotactism and of olfactory stimuli has been shown. The results are analysed and discussed.
