Annotation	Female attraction in A. sociella is chemically mediated, but ultrasonic communication is also employed during courtship. Male ultrasonic songs stimulate female sexual display and significantly affect mating efficiency. Considerable inter-individual differences in song structure exist. These could play a role in female mate selection provided that the female’s ear is able to discern them. The A. sociella mating strategy described above is unique within the subfamily Galleriinae.
