Abstract
THE numerical regulation of the codling moth has been investigated in the Australian Capital Territory. Each year, part of the population undergoes two complete generations and begins a third, most individuals of which fail to survive. The other part of the population enters diapause, and the species overwinters as mature, diapausing larvæae produced mainly in the second generation.
