The diurnal rhythm in activities of the Strawberry weevil, Anthonomus bisignifer Schenkling, seems to depend mainly upon the temperature reaction. Therefore, the diurnal variation of envbironmental temperature factors is more effective upon the said activities than that of any other meteorological factors. As the activities of the weevil are thought to be governed by the temperature factors through its body temperature, the diurnal rhythm in activities of the weevil correlates closely with the diurnal variation of the body temperature. It may conclusively recognized that the diurnal rhythm in activities of insects, which depends mainly upon a temperature reaction, may be governed ecternally by temperature factors of the meteorological factors, and, therefore, internally by the body temperature. It seems that the solar radiant energy has not ever almost been taken up as one of the temperature factors in the field of ecology. Considering from present investigation made on the Strawberry weeevil, it is very important to concentrate the attention on the solar radiant energy. It is, therefore, desirable in the ecological investigation to observe it as one of the environmental temperature factors. And, the black bulb heliothermometer will be applicable to this purpose.
