Abstract: [Objectives] To clarify the effect of magnetic fields on the nocturnal orientation behavior of Mythimna separata (Walker) and investigate the magnetic orientation mechanisms of aerial migratory insects. [Methods] Oriental armyworms were raised in geomagnetic and near-zero magnetic fields, and experiments on the orientation behavior of oriental armyworm moths were carried out in an artificial simulated magnetic field. [Results] M. separata exhibited significant group orientation with respect to geomagnetic field, which in summer was northward. This common group orientation disappeared under near-zero magnetic field conditions and the vertical variable of geomagnetic field reversal. The growth environment under different magnetic fields had little effect on orientation behavior, but the magnetic field environment had a notable influence on flight direction. [Conclusion] The orientation of M. separata is clearly affected by magnetic field and nocturnal aerial migratory insects may use magnetic fields for navigation.
