Diel activity rhythms of different behaviors in the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, were studied under various conditions of light-dark cycles at 25℃. The peaks of wandering activity in search of a hibernation site of the larva and of adult eclosion occurred at definite times of the day, but no diel rhythmicity of these behaviors was observed in continuous light or darkness. Pupation occurred at around 8 hr after light-on and at around 4-6 hr after light-off in 16-hr light and 8-hr darkness(16L : 8D) and adult emergence at around 8-10 hr after light-on. The adult eclosion rhythm continued, though not very clearly, after transfer from 16L : 8D to continuous darkness. The calling posture of the female began after light-off and continued during the dark period in 16L : 8D. Moving activities of most male and female adults occurred within 3 hr after light-off in 16L : 8D and the activity rhythm, showed a circadian cycle after transfer to continuous darkness. The peak of oviposition occurred at around light-off in 16L : 8D. The mating began at the first light-off after the eclosion in l6L : 8D.
