  abstract = {{S}exual behaviour in most of the noctuid {L}epidoptera follows a diel periodicity and is limited to a precise period of either the day or the night. {T}he periodicity and the maturation periods are specific as well as the onset of oviposition behaviour. {T}he knowledge of these traits of biology is an essential prerequisite for all the studies in chemical ecology. {T}he periodicity of adult emergence, calling behaviour and oviposition of {B}usseola fusca ({F}uller) was studied under laboratory conditions. {M}ost males emerged before onset of the scotophase whereas most females did so one hour later. {T}he virgin females started to exhibit calling behaviour few hours after emergence and there is no sexual maturation time. {T}he calling behaviour starts the fourth hour after the onset of the scotophase but is lightly delayed for females having emerged the same night as compared to older females. {S}exual and oviposition behaviours occur during the dark period. {O}viposition started the first night after the mating night, peaked during the second night and then gradually decreased until the fifth night. {T}he first night of oviposition, females laid eggs during the first three hours and after the 5(th) hour of the scotophase with a maximum during the 8(th) and 9(th) hour. {D}uring the second night, oviposition peaked during the second hour and tended to decrease thereafter.},
