You may use this photos for academic or educational purpose, note that the photos of courtship have been already published (Zagatti P. and Castel Y., 1987. Courtship behaviour of the false codling moth Cryptophlebia leucotreta Meyrick : androconial display and mating success (Lepidoptera : Tortricidae), Ann. Soc.
entomol. France (N.S.) 23 : 113-123).
