Abstract
Although carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly used as an anesthetic for insects, its side effects are not completely understood. Behavioral or physiological alterations caused by exposure to CO2 have been reported in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Brooks 1957, 1965), and the house cricket, Acheta domesticus (L.) (Edwards and Patton 1965). In lepidopterous insects, CO2 has been shown to reduce: (1) mating frequency and oviposition in the female Mediterranean flour moth, Anagasta kuchniella (Zeller) (Janisch 1924) ; (2) mating frequency in the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Shorey 1964); (3) male responsiveness to the female sex pheromone in the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), (Whisenant and Brady 1967) ; (4) and egg production and hatchability in P. interpunctella (Lum and Flaherty 1972).
