Abstract The High Biosecurity House of the Mediterranean Fly in Metapa (CABIM3, its Spanish acronym) is a space within new Moscamed Mexico facility designed to select favorable traits that mitigate negative effects mass production while enhancing male competitiveness, ultimately increasing efficiency sterile insect technique (SIT). CABIM3 serves as an environmentally enriched where insects, whose offspring will initiate process, are confined. In this study, sexual performance males and oviposition behavior females from mass‐reared wild strains Anastrepha ludens (Loew) A. obliqua (Macquart) were compared under field cage conditions, inside orchard, evaluate suitability CABIM3's environmental including light intensity, temperature, relative humidity. results revealed significant differences female between areas orchard. Despite these differences, our findings suggest breeding like could be valuable tool for improving attributes insects used SIT programs.
