adult life actually given over to copulating. Unfortunately, data 
on longevity in the field are more laboriously got than are those on 
mating frequency and T f. Yet all this information, from a variety of 
diurnal Lepidoptera, is needed for sound comparative analysis of 
evolutionarily critical features of reproductive biology.
