Abstract
The feeding habits of males and females of Ch. homalodemus showed some differences. In the control the male consumed less than the female. T he reluctant feeding habit of the females leads to the suggestion that the repellent effect of NSKE lasts longer than the exposure time. A c hoice test showed that Ch. homalodemus did'nt feed on treated cabbage leaves when untreated ones were available.
