The daily mating rate and total mating rate decreased with the increase in cadmium concentration. The number of eggs of low cadmium treatment was higher than that of control, but the difference was not significant; the number of eggs in high cadmium treatment was lower than that of control and low cadmium treatment. Our results indicate that cadmium exposure can disrupt the courtship rhythm for females and has negative influences on copulation behavior and high cadmium stress can reduce fecundity. Hence, the insect population increas
