Sex ratio, weight, fecundity, fertility and longevity of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) wild adults from wild populations of Southern part of Syria were examined. In addition, percentage of larvae entering diapause from each generation was investigated and the relationship between female weight and fecundity was examined. The results showed that sex ratio was about 1: 1 (males to females), adult weight ranged, on average, from 14.4 to 25.7 mg for spring generation males and females respectively and from 19.5 to 32.6 mg for summer generation males and females in the same order. Fecundity of the spring generation moths was close to 85 eggs/female; this number increased by about 30% for summer generation females and a strong relationship was found between female weight and fecundity. Adult fertility, for both generations (spring and summer), exceeded 90%, longevity ranged from about 10 days for spring generation adults to about 9 days for summer generation moths and males lived little longer than females. These results may serve as a reference in quality control measures for codling moth mass rearing in Syria.
