The Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a global pest of a wide variety fruits. Due to its importance, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has raised attention as a safe and sustainable solution to this pest. Successful SIT programs require a comprehensive understanding on the mating behavior of this species. Females of oriental fruit flies are known monandrous which implies that females only mate once with one male. This experiment aimed to confirm that female flies were able to mate more than once with the same (multiple mating) or different males (polyandry) in certain period of time. Four different experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis: receptivity a female to the same male (1) and different males (2) in a cage for 11 days; receptivity a mated female with the same male (3) and different males (4) in a cage for 14 days after the first mating. Results indicated that a part of the female oriental fruit flies was capable to mating more than once with the same or different males.

The objective of the research were to investigate level parasitization, immature development period, longevity of adult parasitoids, along with number of progeny and parasitoid sex of Psyttalia sp. attacking larvae of Bactrocera dorsalis. This experiment was conducted in Laboratory of Entomology, Department Plant Pest and Diseases Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University from March to September 2007. The result showed that the average level of parasitization of Psyttalia sp. reached 24.24%. The highest one was 30% and the lowest was 16.7%. The immature development period of Psyttalia sp. ranged from 24-31 days with average 27.5 days. Longevity of imago parasitoids which stored at 5 0C was 14.1 days. In the research, the progeny of parasitoids which produced was females with percentage of females reached 59.99% and percentage of males reached 39.99%.Keywords: fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis, parasitoid, Psyttalia sp.
