Abstract Investigation into the nature and function of stable fly pheromones indicated that both male sex attractant and mating pheromones are present. Polyolefin fraction of female body hydrocarbons attracted virgin males while thetrans andcis olefins were found to be responsible for mating stimulation. Characterization of the attractive components is under way.
