  abstract = {{I}t is largely accepted that larval experience influence host-plant preference of larvae. {I}n general, larval experience with a host plant induces both an odour and feeding preference for that plant. {I}n a previous study, exposure of three noctuid stem borer species, i.e. {S}esamia nonagrioides, {B}usseola fusca and {B}. nairobica, to a vanillin-enriched medium induced an olfactory preference for the odours of this medium in the larvae of these species. {H}ere, we checked if the exposure to a vanillin-enriched medium also induced a feeding preference for this diet. {D}ifferent life stages (i.e. neonate larvae to adults) of the three species were conditioned to an artificial diet enriched with vanillin over two generations. {T}hereafter, two-choice tests on third-generation larvae were done using a {Y}-tube olfactometer for odour preferences and diet choice experiments. {L}arvae of all three-species conditioned to the vanillin diet oriented significantly towards the odour of this diet, whereas the non-conditioned larvae did not. {S}till, apart for {B}. fusca, the conditioned larvae did not exhibit a feeding preference for this diet, thus odour preference did not match the feeding choice of the conditioned larvae. {T}he implication of this result on insect's adaptability to a new host plant in a changing environment is discussed.},
