- Percentage of laboratory colony (Lab) and males collected on the field (Wild) with the terminalia rotated in the different stages. NS indicates a non significant difference between laboratory and wild males; * and *** indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively). Sample sizes were 14, 39 and 57 for the laboratory males and 5, 8 and 8 for the wild males at 5.5, 12.5 and 17 h post-emergence respectively.
