Abstract
In a laboratory flight tunnel, the first oriental fruit moth males to arrive near females had the highest rate of mating success and performed the standard sequence of behaviors including a hairpencil display that attracted females. Late arrivals performed atypical courtship patterns that enabled them to sneak copulations or disrupt first males' courtships to succeed in mating occasionally.
