Mating behaviour and insemination in anopheles multicolor cambouliu

ABSTRACT

Mating behavior was described and it was by end-to-end position. The male was capable to inseminate the female efficiently after 24 hours from emergence and this efficiency decreases as the age of the male increases. Male was capable of inseminating more than one female [2.33 +/- 0.33 females]. The female was receptive when it became 24 hours old
