Mythimna is a separate gusana nocturnal. Many other insects and animals are based on clarity to distinguish between night and day. This worm observes the smell of the corn plant to know when it should wake up. In fact, corn releases some or other volatile compounds, either day or night. The researchers have subjected the worms to the influence of these compounds and have shown their behavior according to them.
